The Erasmus School of Economics offers multiple different Economics and Business majors as well as multiple Econometrics majors. You may have troubles deciding which of the majors suits you best. This article will hopefully help you make a well-informed choice regarding your major.


Majors Economics and Business


To begin your orientation you may want to start by watching these introduction videos


If one of the majors sparks your interest, you can find the major's study schedule here (Economie) or here (IBEB). In the study schedule you will find the courses and seminars included in the major. Pressing the course codes will lead you to the Osiris Course Catalogue. Here you will be able to find a lot of course/seminar specific information such as a course description, literature list and assessment type(s).


Please note that you are supposed to do three major courses and one seminar. If there are more than three courses and/or more than one seminar in a major, it means that you can choose your preferred courses and seminar.
