Overview

In the Erasmus University Rotterdam's international bachelor in History, you focus on societal, economic, political and cultural themes and not (as with many other programmes) historical periods.

This will enable you to link the past and present. Such insights can be useful in many different jobs.

Career prospective

In many respects, historians are highly valued in the labor market, particularly in the field of politics, education, journalism, business and government administration.

Programme Structure

Your history programme at Erasmus University Rotterdam is centred around societal, economic, political and cultural themes and not (as with many other programmes) historical periods.

This means that one day, you may be studying a 17th-century account of the travels of an employee of the Dutch East India Company, followed by an explanation of the impact of international treaties on the retention of cultural heritage the next day.
