The realisation that a countrys international

significance is largely determined by its role in world

trade was one which underlay the foundation of the

Nederlandse Handels-Hoogeschool (Netherlands

School of Commerce), a forerunner of the Erasmus

School of Economics (ESE). For a small country like

the Netherlands, which then had limited politicalpower, it was doubly essential to provide the best

possible educational facilities for the future leaders

in transport, trade and commerce. By that time

Rotterdam already had a worldwide reputation as a

trading port, and thus represented an ideal location

for such a school. Due to its geographical position

at the Maas estuary, Rotterdam is often called the

gateway to Europe. The high level of activity in many

branches of commerce promised to provide a lively

cooperation between the city and the educationalinstitution.

Today, more than ninety years later, ESE has grown to

become a leading academic institution in the world.

The present-day culture of the Erasmus School of

Economics still reflects the business-like and decisive

mentality of its founding fathers.

With its problem-oriented teaching and market-

oriented research, the school is able to adjust rapidly

to changes in the business environment. The school

hosts many of the worlds experts in their fields of

research and offers top level Bachelors, Masters and

post-experience Masters programmes in all major

areas of economics and business.

The Erasmus School of Economics is home to many

different specialisations and independent institutions.This brochure should provide the reader with a

general impression of what The Erasmus School

of Economics has to offer. But I hope that our

acquaintance will not just stop here, and I would like

to invite interested students to contact us for further

information, for instance by visiting our website

at www.ese.eur.nl/master.

Erasmus University Rotterdam (EUR) was founded in

1913 by leading business executives and bankers.

The university has a solid reputation throughout the

world and combines academic excellence with an

empirical focus and an emphasis on applied business

and policy. In addition to the economics of European

and world markets, business administration, financeand banking, econometrics, transport and logistics,

we also investigate health care, the environment,

philosophy, law and legislation, history, arts and

culture.

Erasmus University Rotterdam is a modern institution

and an important educational centre located near

one of the worlds largest ports. International

and Dutch students who wish to increase their

educational level and competitiveness on the labourmarket will find the key disciplines at Erasmus

University Rotterdam very appealing. At present,

Erasmus University Rotterdam boasts some 23,000

students in seven faculties and schools. Some

3,800 of these students are international and these

numbers are growing each academic year.

ACHIEVEMENTS

Erasmus University Rotterdam is world-renowned

for academic excellence. It comprises internationallyacclaimed institutes, such as the Erasmus School

of Economics, Erasmus MC University Medical

Centre, which is highly esteemed in the area of

research, and RSM Erasmus University, which ranks

among the top five business schools in Europe. This

reputation also holds true for the field of Economics

and Business, as the Erasmus School of Economics

was recently honoured with an exceptional mention

by the Centrum fr Hochschulentwicklung (CHE),

a German authority in matters of higher education.

The CHEs annual Excellence Ranking 2009 places

the ESE in its Excellence-group. Quality of academic

contributions and international presence areimportant criteria for the CHE.

CAMPUS

Over the past 25 years, many new buildings have

been built on the main site of Erasmus University

Rotterdam: the Woudestein campus. The rapid

growth of the student body during the 1980s and

the addition of educational disciplines led to the

expansion and renovation of existing buildings.

Nowadays, more intensive educational methods,modern techniques of knowledge transfer and the

latest computer facilities for students bring about

constant change in our facilities.

The Woudestein campus is located in the Kralingen

district, near the Van Brienenoord Bridge in the east

of Rotterdam and houses the Erasmus School of

Economics and other disciplines.

The auditorium, the various departments of theUniversity Office, the University Library, catering

facilities, the sports complex and the Erasmus

Expo and Congress Centre are all located on the

Woudestein campus.

ERASMUS UNIVERSITYROTTERDAM

Desiderius Erasmus(1469-1536)

Erasmus University Rotterdam is named

after the famous humanist and philosopher,

Desiderius Erasmus, who significantly

influenced the intellectual and cultural climate

of the Renaissance. Born in Rotterdam, he was a

European who was ahead of his time.

Nobel Prize laureateJan Tinbergen (1903-1994)

Professor Tinbergen was the first to receive the

Nobel Prize in economics in 1969. He was one

of the founding fathers of econometrics and

the first to construct complete macro-economic

models. Although the first model he developed

for the Netherlands was rather simple, it was

already usable as a base for economic policy.Working for the League of Nations, he soon

produced more extensive models for the United

States and the United Kingdom. As the first di-

rector of the Centraal Planbureau (a think tank

on economic problems for the Dutch govern-

ment) he became one of the architects of Dutch

post-war economic policy, his second major

field. Leaving the bureau in 1955, he dedicated

his energies entirely to the economic problems

of less developed countries, passionately advi-sing their governments. His numerous writings

owe their widespread appeal to their immediate

relevance to practical problems and their clear

presentation. He continued to work and publish

until his death. When he died, at the age of 91,

he was a revered and widely honoured scholar

and public figure. His memory lives on in the

Tinbergen Institute, the graduate school and

research institute of the Erasmus School of

Economics (a joint venture with the Universi-teit van Amsterdam and the Vrije Universiteit

Amsterdam).

In 1973, the Erasmus School of Economics merged

with the Faculty of Medicine to form Erasmus

University Rotterdam. The Erasmus School of

Economics offers Bachelors, Masters and PhD

programmes in four different fields:

pAccounting, Auditing and Control,

pEconomics and Business,pEconometrics and Management Science,

pEconomics and Taxation

(offered only in Dutch: Fiscale Economie).

We are convinced that students should establish a

solid theoretical background before specialising in a

particular area.

As a school, we are keenly aware of the

importance of having a global perspective. Boththe Erasmus School of Economics and Erasmus

University Rotterdam work dilligently to encourage

international co-operation. By initiating international

research projects, sending students and researchers

abroad and providing appropriate facilities for our

international guests, we strive to broaden our global

reach. In addition to a growing number of MSc

programmes taught in English, the Erasmus School

of Economics also offers two BSc programmes

entirely in English: the International Bachelor inEconomics and Business Economics programme

and the International Bachelor in Econometrics and

Operations Research programme.

Located in the heart of Rotterdam, Erasmus School

of Economics nurtures its long-standing ties to the

business community. Students of the Erasmus School

of Economics benefit from these ties both during

their studies and after. During their studies, students

can expect guest lectures from members of thebusiness community and government. Graduates of

our programmes are likely to find jobs quickly and

with relative ease.

ERASMUSSCHOOL OF ECONOMICS

How do you control an organisation? How

do you measure the performance of the

management of a company? Which incentive

schemes motivate managers most to achieve

corporate objectives? The discipline of Management

Accounting and Control deals with these kinds

of questions. An accounting information systemproduces information which managers use for

controlling various business activities and for making

strategic decisions. This information is also used by

employees to complete operational tasks. In addition

to internal use, the processed information (e.g.

financial statements) is also used by external users

who have an interest in the firm, such as investors,

suppliers and regulators. Financial Accounting deals

with for example the quality and decision usefulness

of information included in financial statements.

However, is this information reliable, understandable,

comparable and relevant?

Corporate scandals involving very large companies

turned auditing into headline news, not just in the

business pages of newspapers, but on front pages, ineditorials, in television news bulletins and discussion

programmes as well. In the United States and Great

Britain, but also in the Netherlands, organisations

responsible for supervising the operation of the

financial market criticise the work of independent

auditors. This resulted in big question marks being

placed over the competence and independence of

auditors. Auditing is more than ever the talk of the

town!

AUDIENCE

The Masters specialisation in Behavioural Economics

is intended for students who want to have a solid

training in mainstream economics and, at the same

time, learn how recent insights from psychology

enrich traditional economics.

MISSION

Behavioural Economics is a new and increasingly

popular stream of economics based on the

psychology of human behaviour. It shows how

insights from psychology help to improve economic

decision making. A solid training in mainstream

economics provides students with the tools used

in economics and finance to analyze human

behaviour and to design policies and strategies. An

additional training in Behavioural Economics willenable students to understand why people do not

always behave as rational economic decision makers

and how economic policies and strategies can be

improved to take such deviations from rational

behaviour into account.

CURRICULUM

The Masters specialisation consists of both

mainstream economics and Behavioural Economics.

For the mainstream economics courses studentscan choose between 3 tracks: a Finance track, an

Economics of Management and Organisation track,

and a Marketing track. These tracks consist of

courses of the corresponding Masters specialisations

of Economics and Business.

The Behavioural Economics courses are:

Advanced Behavioural Economics

Advanced Behavioural Finance

Experimental Economics

Seminar Applied Behavioural Economics

CAREER PROSPECTS

Students with a Masters degree in Behavioural

Economics have many job opportunities in all sectors

of the economy. To give a few examples:

Governments increasingly use the insights from

Behavioural Economics to shape policies. Examples

are pension design and health policy. Economists

with a training in Behavioural Economics will know

how to effectively design and improve economic

policies and strategies.In private enterprises Behavioural Economists can

help design better marketing policies, contracts, and

financial portfolios. Behavioural economists know the

biases that affect peoples choices and, hence, their

insights can help to improve products and contracts.

Behavioural economists also learn which

psychological motives play a role in negotiations.

They can therefore improve negotiation procedures

to the benefit of the company they work for.
