Work :
If the workload of your study programme allows, you can always go look for a side job. We love the initiative to work on your career. You’ll boost your CV, while learning more about Dutch society and earning extra money. However, as an international student your position is different than that from Dutch students. There might be specific rules and regulations depending on your nationality.
Life After Studies :
In the Netherlands, no university will guarantee you a job, but you do have a high quality degree from a globally high-ranked and recognized academic institution. In terms of employability, Erasmus University is doing very well compared to other universities: Times Higher Education ranks us as Nr4 in the Netherlands and Nr72 in the world. Erasmus University is consistently ranked in the top 2% of the world’s best universities. Students need to look for jobs on their own and, especially for non-EU students, it can be very competitive to find work in Europe. There are lots of great success stories, of course, but you’ll have to work for it.
