Student review [#21938] for Public Administration
at Erasmus University Rotterdam - EUR

Studying at Erasmus University for almost a year now has given me a plethora of invaluable experiences. I would recommend the Management of International Social Challenges programme to anyone who is interested in current affairs and desires to contribute a positive change one way or another.
I wish our readings included more POC authors, lgbtq perspectives and was more outside of the Eurocentric, westernized scope. The students are welcoming and the members of faculty are as well.
The study can be challenging at times for a number of reasons. Firstly, we have finals every 4,5 weeks and we also have less time off than most other dutch universities. In addition, apart from exceptions due to covid, all students are expected to pass all first year courses. Finally, both an advantage and a challenge at the same time, the courses multidisciplinary approach offers a complex and (to a point) complete view of the topics that will be studied. At times this can be off-putting at certain blocks and a lot of extra work might be required. However, after the studies come to an end there is a large variety of paths one can follow.
I would recommend the Management of International Social Challenges.

Ps1.EUR is indeed a challenging university and hard work is a requirement
Ps2. There is no student accommodation offered by the university
you can find a list though of the institutions that cooperate with Erasmus on their main page
Ps3. Rotterdam is a very quiet city with many things to do. It is vastly different from other cities. Travelling from city to city is so simple you can still visit most other cities in one or two hours
Ps4. So much more to write about, hope my review is helpful
