Executie MBA

Building your future takes more than buzzwords and business cards. As an executive on the rise, you know exactly what we mean. Success takes big ideas and bright leadership. It takes a critical eye with a focus on making sustainable decisions that create value over the long term. It takes a strong network of professionals who are ready to make big moves — and eager to help you make yours.

These are all time-honoured Dutch values that have been building bright careers around the world for centuries. And at RSM, you’ll gain directly from this kind of valuable thinking — it’s infused into every aspect of our part-time Executive MBA, which is taught in English, the international language of business.

Find out how applying Dutch values to an international business education in Europe will expand your influence and drive your career further than you’ve ever thought possible. That’s what you’ll discover at Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University.

Living Management Consulting Project
This consultancy project is an intense and challenging three-week-long course where you will work in teams to create a solution to a real business problem within a company. At the end of the course, you will present your recommendations to the company’s executives. This project enables students to apply what they learned in class to a real and unique business challenge.

International Study Tours
By joining our MBA, you will have the chance to participate in study tours and broaden your horizons. During these journeys, you will learn more about complex economic issues by attending lectures in local faculties and you will discover how other cultures develop their leadership skills.

International Exchange Programme
Another option to enhance your international experience and expand your network is to spend a term in a different country. RSM has more than 100 partners’ business schools, giving you a wide range of possibilities. Partners include Wharton, IE, Duke, Sauder, HKUST, Melbourne Business School, CEIBS and many more across the globe.

Leadership Retreat
At RSM, we believe in experiential learning to be part of your transformational experience. This is why we constantly create electives that provide you with experiences to hone your leadership skills. One of our electives is a Bergplaas leadership retreat where you will be renewing your leadership vision through mindfulness, storytelling and silence.

Big thinking drives big business.

At RSM, our professors speak with the Financial Times. Just not about subscriptions. Their ideas and research are highly influential—sought after by global newspapers and leading journals, and implemented in boardrooms around the world.

That means in Rotterdam, you discover the latest business insights from the leading minds that produce them.

Global scholars

Innovation. Entrepreneurship. Supply chain management. We didn’t invent these concepts, but every day we’re perfecting them at RSM and our research institute, the Erasmus Research Institute of Management (ERIM). Our think-tank is ranked as one of Europe’s top three research institutes. And all of our scholars teach in RSM’s International Full-time MBA programme.

Industry leaders

No one understands today’s business climate better than the ones who actually navigate it every day — the leaders of industry and government. At RSM, you’ll get their expert perspectives first-hand, learning from big-name professionals who share their valuable insights about the real world, directly with you and your peers.

Career coaches

Even if you have a specific career path in mind, you can strengthen your next step with personalised coaching. Throughout your MBA programme, we can connect you with an established professional who will provide support and share valuable lessons gained from years of working in business and industry.
