RSM admits to the MScBA Master in Management once a year for a September start, and the September 2027 dates are published: applications open on 1 October 2026 and close on 15 May 2027 — or earlier, since RSM states the window shuts as soon as the programme is full. The programme is capped at around 300 places and is listed among RSM's maximum-capacity programmes with rolling admissions, so the May date is a backstop rather than a plan: places go as files arrive, and the same deadline applies to every applicant group.
Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University runs 1 application round . Earlier rounds generally carry higher acceptance odds and earlier scholarship visibility.
| Round | Deadline |
|---|---|
| Final (September 2027 entry) | 15 May 2027 |
Dates are confirmed against the school's official admissions page.
What we checked, and when. September 2027 intake — applications open 1 October 2026 and close 15 May 2027, but RSM states the window shuts "earlier if programme is full": the programme is capped at ~300 places and listed under its maximum-capacity, rolling-admissions programmes, so treat May as a backstop.
Frequently asked questions

- RSM — MScBA Master in Management, read together with the MSc how-to-apply and admission-requirements pages. NO-X CHECKED 2026-09-05: the upload list is "Curriculum Vitae (Resume)", secondary-school diploma, bachelor diploma, academic transcripts, transcripts of additional studies, "Proof of English proficiency (at C1 level)", "GMAT test results (for students who have obtained their diploma outside the Netherlands)" and proof of additional languages for MSc International Management/CEMS only — no essay, motivation letter or reference letter is named, and the claim reproduces. The same-school exception is named on the page: "applicants also go through a selection interview" for MSc International Management/CEMS and MSc Finance & Investments, not for this programme. Two precisions this run had to correct downstream: the cap is on APPLICATIONS, not places — "this is a capped programme which means that the application will close either when the maximum number of applications (300) has been reached or 15 May, whichever comes first" — and RSM publishes no weighting for the CV it requires, saying only that "the RSM Admissions team will carefully review all applications and select the candidates for the programme", so "the CV isn't scored" was an inference and has been withdrawn.

SCOPE CHECKED 2026-09-03: this is a portfolio-wide page carrying several tables, and the dates DIFFER by programme — MSc Finance & Investments closes 31 Oct 2026 and MSc International Management/CEMS 31 Jan 2027, both earlier than this one.

- RSM — How to apply (MSc programmes). INTERVIEW CHECKED 2026-09-03, and this is a portfolio-wide page, so the scope matters: the only selection interview RSM describes is for two OTHER programmes — "International Management/CEMS and Finance & Investments have a selection process and all applicants receive their results on the same day", and "next to meeting the minimum requirements for the MSc International Management/CEMS programme as well the MSc in Finance & Investments, applicants also go through a selection interview. This additional selection is due to the limited number of places in the programme and the limited number of exchange spots." The supporting-documents list that applies to the MScBA Master in Management is documentary only (CV, secondary-school diploma, bachelor diploma, academic transcripts, translations) and states of the CV: "The CV will not be assessed during the evaluation, but can provide additional information for the admission staff."

- RSM Admissions & Orientation Support — 'My previous education was in English. Is this sufficient proof of my English proficiency? (MSc)'. ENGLISH EVIDENCE CHECKED 2026-09-05: previous education proves proficiency only where 'the official language of instruction was English and the diploma was obtained in one of the following countries: USA, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa or within the EU/EEA including Switzerland.' A two-language EU/EEA bachelor must show 'at least 120 EC were taught in English'; 'If it is not mentioned on the diploma, or on the website of the university that the programme is taught in English, an official statement provided by the university is required'; a master's route requires 'at least 60 EC at the time of applying to RSM'. Secondary-education routes name the IB (English A, grade 6 HL / 7 SL), the European Baccalaureate (7.0) and GCSE/A-Level English at grade C, and state that 'English completed as part of a VWO diploma is not sufficient.'. P33f RE-READ 2026-09-12: read again for one question only — does submitting a test result BELOW the course requirement remove an exemption the applicant would otherwise hold, as Bath states ('you will not be exempt')? This page publishes NO rule either way. Recorded as a dated SILENCE on that question, never as permission: a page that says nothing has not promised to ignore a weak score. ↗ — Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University
