Erasmus University Rotterdam

Acceptance into an Erasmus programme is determined by the individual exchange or scholarship you are applying for, your academic background, and the competition for the opportunity. While Erasmus programs aim to be inclusive, selection criteria might differ greatly. Academic performance, a good motivation letter, competency in the requisite language, and a suitable study or research plan are critical to success. Universities frequently have a limited number of openings, making them competitive for popular destinations or subjects of study.

Engaging with your university's foreign office for support, applying early, and personalising your application to highlight your qualifications and enthusiasm will help make the process easier.
