For Nepali students

  • EUR's Erasmus School of Economics and RSM are globally recognised in exactly the fields, business, finance, economics, and international management, that Nepali students frequently pursue for strong employment outcomes abroad.
  • International students who graduate from EUR are eligible for the Netherlands' Orientation Year (Zoekjaar) permit, a 12-month post-study work authorisation that allows graduates to work in any role while seeking permanent employment in one of Europe's wealthiest economies.
  • EUR participates in the Orange Tulip Scholarship programme, which is open to students from countries including Nepal and provides partial tuition waivers; the university also offers its own NL Scholarship (up to €5,000–€15,000 depending on faculty) for non-EEA students.
  • Non-EEA undergraduate tuition at EUR ranges from approximately €11,400 to €15,900 per year depending on programme, mid-range for a globally top-150 university, and Rotterdam's cost of living is generally lower than Amsterdam, making it a relatively cost-efficient destination for Nepali students targeting a Dutch degree.
