The Erasmus Rotterdam interview

Interview by invitation, and it carries moderate weight in the decision. Here is how it works and how to prepare.

Interview by invitation

Program-specific selection interview, ~20-30 min, used in some numerus fixus programs (e.g. Erasmus University College) as part of the ranking process; not universal across all EUR programs

How to prepare for Erasmus Rotterdam

Interviews at EUR are program-specific and part of the numerus fixus ranking , if your program uses one, treat it as a ranking component, not a formality.
Expect questions tied to your motivation letter; interviewers will probe whether your stated reasons for the program are genuine and well-developed.
For Erasmus University College (EUC), the selection is especially holistic , be ready to discuss your intellectual interests across disciplines, not just one subject area.
If your program uses a weighted lottery rather than an interview, focus energy on the motivation letter and online curriculum activity, as those are the actual ranking inputs.

Practice before the real thing

Rehearse real admissions-interview questions and get an honest read on your answers, what an interviewer hears, where you sound generic, and what to sharpen. We coach you; we never script you.
