I am a student in University of twente in TPC foundation programme because I had a 11 years in school instead of 12 and UT requires 12 years so that is why I went to the pre-bachelor program in International Business administration.

I am preparing for OMPT-D and planning to take until beginning of February, but I do not know if I can get higher 75% for university of Erasmus and take a degree in Econometrics and Operation Research, now I am going to learn Trigonometry and then Derivatives then other topics like integration and etc. To be honest I do not know if I can manage it in 3 months and if you guys already passed OMPT-D please give me some advice that really helped you during your preparation, I would be very grateful.

I’m a first-year international IBEB student, and I’ve just about finished the first block (Math and Accounting).

Honestly, I’ve found IBEB relatively easy so far. There’s a lot of material to study, but the content itself hasn’t been particularly difficult or intellectually challenging. The main challenge has been keeping up with the workload and the pace, but even that has become manageable now that I’ve adjusted to the university routine.

My question is: Is IBEB gonna stay at the same level of difficulty as the first block? Because I don’t feel particularly fulfilled or challenged, and often wonder if I’m not wasting my time. With the current job market being as it is, is there anything I can do, to better my chances of landing a job in finance or related fields?

For context, I did the IB diploma program before IBEB, so that’s what I’m mainly comparing it to. I am already learning Dutch. But I’m considering other things such as starting another degree (CS and engineering at TU Delft) or becoming a teaching assistant or trying to get a part time job in finance or related field (very unlikely especially when I don’t speak Dutch). Any suggestions or comments are welcome and very much appreciated.

I know RSM is quite competitive so let me list what is basically my CV,

AP grades: 4 in AP euro, 4 in AP Psych, 5 in AP Micro, 3 in AP CSP, 3 in AP Seminar

My predicted for this year will be in AP Research, AP Calc AB, AP Macro, and AP Business and personal finance. I will get good predicted and hopefully do well in the exams as well.

My extracurriculars involve, Investment club, Business and economics club, varsity track, varsity football, starting a company where I sold bracelets and donating everything to charity (still starting out). I have had two jobs as a chef and opened my own 'restaurant' in the boarding house. I have leadership roles in the boarding house.

I know they care a lot about international stuff I am Scandinavian going to an American/International school in Europe.

I think that is everything so, what are my chances and is there anything that I could mention that I haven't thought about, obviously I will only mention it if it is applicable to me

Hi everyone, I'm a first-year IBEB student and I'm about to take my first two exams. I find math really difficult, and even though I've studied a lot for accounting, I'm still struggling a lot (I did a mock test and got a 4.5). What do you recommend? Will it get better? Or should I consider switching programs? And what if I fail both exams? I'm feeling really unmotivated right now. Thanks

Hi! I’m from an underrepresented EU country, applying for the BSc in Economics and Business Economics here are my stats:

A-Level Predicted Grades: AAA
(Maths + Econ + Business)

IGCSE: ABBBBCCCD (mid ik)
(Maths A, and core subjects B)

SAT: 1520 (730R&W and 790M)

Solid extracurriculars

I am applying for IBA at erasmus rotterdam and have heard its piss easy from some students while some say the workload is substantial and should not be underestimated. I have done A-level maths and recieved an A, I have covered pure 1, pure 2, and stats 1 so far and its calm. Is there a lot of overlap there for maths ? Can any IBA students out there who do A-levels let me know if it makes it easier for me or if it is still hard.

Does the course itself give you much free time for activities friends and hobbies, maybe even weekly getaways to relax or explore? What is the student culture like for IBA specifically as well? Is it very competitive or more relaxed?

I take biology, economics, and maths for my A levels and have recieved AAA in that, i took an SAT and good 1420, I am head boy and I am applying for IBA, do i have a decent shot of getting in?

I am applying to this program at Erasmus. I heard the drop out rate is 40 percent in first year. Is that true. Is it really hard to survive there. I have higher A 's in Maths and predicting A star in A level maths , with knowledge of Further maths. Also is it possible to do off campus jobs in first year while doing 1st year. Any tips to avoid drop out.

Hey guys! So, I have been visiting multiple universities as well as university colleges in the Netherlands. I would like to study something along the lines of sustainability, but I am also open to liberal arts and science programs. My big thing is student life (a mix of international kids but local integration, of course!); I love a good city, but with a mix of history and nice architecture.

I would love to go to Utrecht Uni for its GSS course because #1 I love the city and #2 the course looks super interesting. However, the problem is, of course, housing (which, of course, I knew about the crisis, but it's still crazy), which makes sense. So that's why I visited UCU. But honestly (I could have just gotten the wrong impression from the guides and campus), I feel that it's so isolated and the environment doesn't feel like the unique "Student life" I would be looking for!

I visited Rotterdam, the University College Erasmus, and really loved it! I loved their 1-year guaranteed housing (which turned out to be really good accommodation) as well as its integration with the normal Uninersity erasmus and the city. The student social life (clubs and housies) seems a little less juvenile (Sry if that's rude) than, like, Leiden Uni college of UCU. I was thinking of making that my top choice (also, I am taking IB and don't have the best score, 32 excluding extra points).

Sorry for all the info, but yeah, let me know what you guys think. I haven't really looked at Maastricht or Groningen because they are so far away and a little off radar, but I am open to learning! (Groningen looks very cool tho, but im not sure being so far north is useful, and since I can't visit it, I'm not sure it would be worth it to go?)

HL English 5, HL Bio 5, Hl ESS 5, SL art 5, SL math application 6, SL french B 6. I've lived in many developing countries, speak 3 languages, and am EU citizen. Idk if this would help me understand where I could get in

Hey guys, maybe this is a bit of a random shout but does anyone who has done the MSc Financial Economics know what the easiest seminar choices are? I’m struggling quite a bit and don’t want to make things unnecessarily complex for myself. Thanks!

Edit: grammar

Hi everyone, I'm trying to decide between three bachelors at Erasmus and would love to hear from current students and alumni:
•IBA (RSM)
•International Bachelor Economics and Business Economics (IBEB)
•International Bachelor Econometrics and Operations Research

A bit about me: Belgian, like economics, and I am intermediate in Maths (level comparable to A-level Maths in the UK).
I've read the official pages, but they all sound great, so I'd rather hear real experiences. A few things I'm wondering:
•How heavy is the workload and how much maths is there in each?
•How international does the classroom actually feel in practice?
•How did the programme prepare you for internships, exchange or a master's?
•What do you wish you had known before choosing, and did you ever consider switching?
If you studied one and nearly chose another, I'd especially like to hear why you picked yours.
Thanks in advance!

I’m an ap student thinking about applying for Erasmus iba, but I didn’t work hard at all for my grade 11 plus my school is very harsh on gpa, so I got a gpa of 3.3. And I now have a 5 for Chinese, a 5 for precalc, a 4 for human geo and two 3s for macro and physics 1. I will be taking OMPT-A exam soon since my school doesn’t provide calculus ab/bc until grade 12. And I have an ielts score of 7.5. Do I have a chance of getting in? I kinda feel hopeless now with my gpa.

I am 1st year student and the exams will be next week and I am so worried if I can pass or not, I am working hard but Math is very difficult. Any tips or advice before exams and if I cannot pass is the resit session will be the same or harder?
Thanks 🙏

Or is Bocconi better?

I am Hedwig ten Have. For my graduation project in the Architecture program at TU Delft, I am studying the E-building on the Erasmus University Woudestein campus in Rotterdam. My research focuses on the "resourceful reuse" of Brutalist buildings and the creation of community through a cultural center. To develop the most comprehensive design possible, me and my classmates have already gathered numerous documents and contacted various individuals and organizations; however, the insight from students themselves is missing. The master plan proposes providing additional facilities but does not yet specify exactly what they will be. I have created this survey to gain better insight into the needs of the Woudestein campus users, as I would love to here your opinion on the situation. 

Thank you in advance for participating; I look forward to your input.
