Step 2: make your o!er unconditional
While your application can be evaluated based
on uno!cial digital documents, eventually the
RSM needs to check the authenticity of your
diploma and your final transcript. This is called
making your o!er unconditional.
This, and any other conditions, are listed in your
admissions statement. The certified copies of
your diploma and final grade list need to be sent
to RSM by 1 August.
Below you can find the detailed instructions as
well as specific information for some diplomas:
1. Which documents are needed?
2. How do I obtain a certified copy of my
diploma and transcripts?
3. Where do I send my documents?
By e-mail: RSM accepts digital
documents if they are sent by your
school representative from an o!cial
school emall address directly to the RSM
Admissions O!ce (bsciba@rsm.nl).
Request your school to send
your diploma and your final grade list as
well as translations (if applicable). For
some diplomas additional documents
(national entrance exam/state exam) are
required. The documents are not
accepted if they come from your e-mail
address.
Online verification: In some cases the
RSM Admissions O!ce can check the
authenticity of your diploma from an
online database and it is therefore not
necessary to send the documents by e-
mail. This applies, for instance, to the
Dutch VWO diploma and International
Baccalaureate. Please consult the
specific instructions per diploma. If your
school uses an online verification
system, please notify the admissions
o!ce. RSM is not able to verify
documents online if it's required that
software is downloaded before the
verification.
I want to bring my documents to the
RSM Admissions O#ce in person: if it is
not possible to have your school send
your documents by e-mail, you can
bring the original or certified documents
to the RSM Admissions O!ce in person.
Our o!ce is located at the Woudestein
Campus, on the 5th floor of the
Mandeville builiding, room T5-01. We
advise you to check out the opening
hours listed on our contact
pages beforehand.
By post
Only if it is not possible to have your
documents sent by e-mail, you can send
your documents by post to the following
address before 1 August.
Rotterdam School of Management,
Erasmus University
RSM IBA Admissions O#ce
Burgemeester Oudlaan 50
Mandeville Building, Room T5-01

Disclaimer: Rotterdam School of
Management, Erasmus University cannot
be held responsible for the loss of any
documentation during transport or while
in storage. Therefore we advise you to
send the documents as a tracked
delivery and to always send certified
copies instead of the original
diplomas. Some courier services also
require a telephone number. In this case
please use the general phone number of
RSM: +31 10 408 2222.
The documents will first be received by
the central post room, and will be
delivered to the admissions o!ce within
2-3 days.

Step 3: pay the tuition fee
The 2023-2024 tuition fee for the BSc in
International Business Administration
programme is approximately €11,100. The Dutch
government contributes towards this cost for
students who hold nationality from a country
belonging to the European Economic Area
(EEA). These students therefore pay only the
statutory fee of €2,314 per year for 2023/2024.
In order to start your studies in September, you
must arrange the tuition fee payment by 31
August. First you need to indicate your preferred
payment method in Studielink:
