On the university website's program-specific page, you can find the exact entrance requirements and application process for each Bachelor program. The prerequisites for admittance could involve scholastic credentials, linguistic ability, and additional standards. Before applying for a program, candidates must first register for the programme of their choosing on Studielink. The university will send advice on how to turn in the necessary paperwork when you register. The university considers a variety of variables while evaluating applicants, including their motivation and academic standing. Because the university has a selective admissions process, meeting the prerequisites does not guarantee admission. 

The campus life at Erasmus University Rotterdam offers a dynamic and inclusive environment with various student associations, sports, and cultural activities. The university also organizes events and activities on campus, and the city offers a diverse nightlife, restaurants, museums, and world-class events. Living in Rotterdam, a vibrant city with a tolerant culture, provides opportunities to engage in diverse experiences. However, it's important to note that finding housing in Rotterdam can be challenging, as the university does not arrange student housing, and there is a dramatic shortage of accommodation in the city, leading to higher prices and competition.
