International Full-time MBA – 12 months Rotterdam School of Management | Erasmus University

Why the Rotterdam MBA?

Let Dutch thinking drive your career forward.

Our international MBA gives you more than a new line on your résumé. It gives you a professional passport to the career you want, anywhere in the world.

Succeeding in business takes more than knowing the facts. It takes a global perspective, an innovative approach, a critical mind, and a focus on collaboration and sustainability. At RSM, we design every class with these values in mind.

That’s the Dutch way of doing business. It’s kept our faculty and our MBA graduates ahead of trends, market shifts, and the business landscape for decades. And it continues to drive personal and professional success in Europe and around the world.

We’re consistently one of Europe’s top-ranked business schools, but you won’t find we brag much about it. That’s another Dutch value—humility. And we know the success of our students, faculty, and alumni speak loud enough.
