The Rotterdam School of Management’s master’s in Corporate Communication and International Management (CEMS) and the Erasmus School of Law’s master’s in Labour Law score excellent in the Keuzegids.

Remarkably, among the universities, it is especially the masters in Economics & Business and Law & Management that score high, according to the new Keuzegids Masters.

At universities of applied sciences, master’s students were more sparing with their opinions. Last year, eight master’s programmes scored the maximum there, compared to three now.

No institution ranking

The Keuzegids bases itself on the National Student Survey conducted in spring 2023. Unlike for bachelor’s programmes, no figures are available for masters on dropout and study pace. Also, experts at accreditation no longer say which programmes excel.

For this reason, the editors have not made rankings of best institutions for masters programmes since 2020. The Keuzegids wants to base rankings on at least two sources.
