A Guide to Studying Abroad in Rotterdam

What you need to know to study abroad in Rotterdam, Netherlands

When people think Netherlands, most think Amsterdam, but they’re probably obsessed with coffeeshops (if you catch our drift). To be perfectly blunt, we think you should study in Rotterdam instead! Rotterdam is like a secret gem waiting for you to experience a lifetime of adventure. 

Popular subjects to study. There are plenty of subjects to study while you study in Rotterdam, but most students come to pursue their International Business and Management studies or to dust off their Dutch language skills

Short term and summer programs vs. long term programs. If you are looking to study abroad with a short term program, somewhere less than three months (or even a summer), Rotterdam is the ideal location. Traveling across the entire country of Netherlands takes a mere three hours, meaning that you can explore the entire country despite your limited time; however, this doesn’t mean there isn’t a ton to see (think post-WWII architecture!).

If you are considering a long term program, 3+ months, don’t count Rotterdam out. Students who participate in long term programs have more options to select from in regards to subjects to study and there multiple universities in Rotterdam to choose from. It is important to note, thought, that if you are from the US or Canada and you would like to stay in Rotterdam for more than 90 days, you will have to get a residence permit. 

Attending universities vs. other program types. There are many universities in rotterdam for international students! But, if you still don’t feel comfortable navigating the process alone, there are plenty of other options, like: studying abroad in Rotterdam with a program through your home university, through a third party organization (like the ones listed on this page!), or on a faculty led program. There are plenty of options when it comes to studying in Rotterdam!
