HEC vs. Erasmus RSM

[LBC22]

Hi,

Could you please help me with pros and cons for both HEC and Erasmus RSM MBA's?

I've narrowed down my applications to this two. Anything related to their curricula, teaching, job opportunities, etc will be helpful.

Hello LBC22,

Although my reponse to your queries will be a bit biased (I do work for the RSM MBA programmes) I would be happy to address your questions if you like:)

Kind regards,
Bart Scheenaard (FTMBA Admissions Manager)

Hello Bart,

Thank you for your response. I am actually hoping some alumni will give me their comments on the programs. Most of the time they can give you information no brochure can.

You could help me with a the following questions:

- Does the MBA uses the case method?
- What is the shortest time in which the application process can be completed?
- How long does it takes to get a response when applying to scholarships.
- When will be the first day of classes?

Hello,

I am more then happy to connect with our Alumni. Could you provide me with your profile? (you can email your CV or provide your LinkedIN profile directly to [email protected])

To your questions:

1) Yes, the RSM MBA uses the business case approach
2) That depends on you:) but it can be possible to complete the application within a few days
3) That also depends on when you apply for scholarship, however it can take up to 6 weeks after the specific scholarship application deadline
4) The first day is on the 12th of January.

Kind regards,

Bart
