The International Education Centre (IEC) is the linking pin between Rotterdam Business School (RBS) and other higher education institutes around the world. Its objectives are to enable students and staff from RBS and its partner universities to broaden their horizons, to develop a global outlook on the (business) world and to contribute to their employability. The IEC enables the development and implementation of internationalisation-at-home and abroad initiatives, such as exchange programmes, international classrooms, projects, international weeks and many other activities.
Our aim is to offer an international vibrant and inclusive community where students, faculty and partners work together, to tackle global challenges and explore new opportunities. We envision a future where education will not face borders, where cultural diversity is celebrated and where individuals are empowered with the knowledge, skills and mindset to effectively navigate in an interconnected world.
To achieve our goals, the IEC has developed and maintains an international network of partner universities and network organisations abroad. In collaboration with our international partners, we aim to create a true international educational environment, in which students and staff from all over the world can learn and grow.
In short, the International Education Centre offers:
- Internationalisation policy
- International partnerships
- International benchmarks
- International staff mobility
- Exchange programmes
- Short international projects, competitions and events (on-site, blended or virtual)
In order to achieve its goals, the IEC works closely together with the Research Centre of Business Innovation and the Centre of International Affairs, which is the central administrative and support unit for internationalisation within Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences.
