About the University

Erasmus University Rotterdam is a public research university based in Rotterdam, Netherlands. The university is named after Desiderius Erasmus Roterodamus, a 15th-century humanist and theologian. The university is the largest and one of the top academic medical centers and trauma centers in the Netherlands, moreover, its economics and business school, Erasmus School of Economics, and Rotterdam School of Management are famous in Europe and beyond. Erasmus University Rotterdam has currently been placed in the top 100 universities in the world by four famous international ranking tables. 

In 2017, the university was rated by Times Higher Education as 69th in the world with its business & economics as 17th, and clinical health as 42nd in the world, and was rated among the top ten business schools in Europe by the Financial Times. Erasmus University Rotterdam was also rated by Times Higher Education as 20th in Europe and 72nd in the world in 2015 with its social sciences as 40th, and clinical health as 35th in the world.

However, the university has seven faculties and focuses on the following four areas: Health – Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences/Erasmus MC and Erasmus School of Health Policy & Management (ESHPM), Wealth – Erasmus School of Economics and Rotterdam School of Management, Governance – Erasmus School of Law and Erasmus School of Social and Behavioural Sciences (ESSB), and Culture – Erasmus School of History, Culture and Communication, Erasmus School of Social and Behavioural Sciences (ESSB) and Erasmus School of Philosophy (MPhil).

Erasmus University Rotterdam was established on 8 November 1913 as the Netherlands School of Commerce through a private initiative with wide support from the business community of Rotterdam. The school was recognized in 1937 as a higher educational institute with university status, providing education in commerce and economics as an academic discipline. This resulted in a change of its name as the NHH became the NEH, or Netherlands School of Economics. Moreover, the growing intricacy of society led in the 1960s to the arrival of the faculties of Law and Social Sciences, followed in later decades by Philosophy, History, and Arts, and Business Administration.

From 1950, the Foundation for Higher Clinical Education used its best exertions to get a full academic medical study program founded in Rotterdam, and with success: In 1966, the government formed the Medical Faculty Rotterdam, housed next to Dijkzigt Hospital. Together with the Sophia Children’s Hospital and the Daniel den Hoed Clinic, it creates the University Hospital Rotterdam, which as of 1st of January 2003 bears the name Erasmus MC.
