Mante - MSc Financial Economics

Paul - MSc Marketing Alumni

"Reflecting my own experience, the Erasmus School of Economics Marketing Master has been an incredibly valuable foundation for my international career. I still appreciate the blend of academic and practical approaches that this programme provided, and how it has supported me in various ways."

Caio - International Bachelor Economics and Business Economics
