Create positive impact with entrepreneurship during the Erasmus University Challenge
An app that helps reduce smoking and drinking, growing potatoes under water and a home battery to store solar energy. These are all start-ups by students who won prizes during previous years' Erasmus University Challenge. In this annual entrepreneurship competition, students are challenged to further develop their own idea, research, or prototype into real products or business plans.

Erasmus Honours Programme
For talented students, we offer the Erasmus Honours Programme: an interdisciplinary programme in which students are introduced to fascinating and current themes from other programmes, in addition to the regular bachelor's and master's programmes.
