Rotterdam School of Management (RSM)

In the International Exchange/CEMS degree programme we were both undergraduate, graduate, and even MBA students. -Making it impossible to have courses that suit everyone... Do take the three week Dutch course... A funny language but also an excellent opportunity for meeting other persons than the ones in your programme during the semester, and for doing a lot of sight seeing and settling in before getting serious.

From the classes I was not very impressed with the academic level. Luckily I took part in a very interesting business project, which greatly improves my overall assesment of the semester.

Choose the courses which you are really interested in and also consider lecturer's past perfomance survey results

Perhaps visits to some companies, more visits from experienced businessmen showing the relationship between theory and real life

The courses were in general good, the workload were allright. The business project was very heavy and a lot to do, so if You are looking for an "easy" semester, it is better to chose courses instead.

No, I think it was good!

CEMS core course (International Management & Organisation) very good! Innovation in Services, not too good and grading not transparent (yet rather easy grading). The latter course is very time intensive and one is - as a CEMS student with the business project besides this course - so busy with all the time intensive mandatory assignments (that do not count towards the final grade!) that the papers (idividual literature review and group paper) have to be done in the very stressful end of the semester.

a trifle too work-intensive! Studying abroad is also about networking, experiencing the country & culture and making friends, not just hard work!

pick courses which incluce guest speakers. these are usually very interesting.

none

RSM seems to be good for finance courses (i did not take any)
