Frequently Asked Questions

Programme fees include tuition, programme materials, plus lunch and refreshments throughout the programme. Hotel accommodation is not included, unless mentioned otherwise in the programme information.

Once registered you will receive an invoice which we ask you to pay within 30 days. If registration takes place 30 days or fewer before the start of the programme, your fee must be paid before the programme’s start date. If you do  not receive an invoice, contact the manager of your programme.

In exceptional cases it is possible to pay your tuition fee in instalments. If you wish to do so, please contact your designated programme manager. The first instalment of the tuition fee is due before the start of the programme.

No. We do not offer scholarships for our executive programmes.

Yes. Alumni from RSM and Erasmus University Rotterdam receive a 25% discount. RSM alumni are students who have completed either a Bachelor of Science, Master of Science, PhD or one executive education programme of more than 40 hours. Participants of open programmes of less than 40 hours do not receive a discount. Companies sponsoring several participants may also be offered a special price.

These programmes are excluded from this alumni discount:

• Lean Six Sigma Black Belt Excellence Programme
• Leadership Challenges with Data Analytics
• Urban Digital Innovation Executive Leadership for a Green Deal
• Executive Master in Customs and Supply Chain Compliance
• Business Valuation
• Port Executive Leadership Circle

• RSM Customised Programmes
• Programmes offered outside RSM Executive Education

Our NVAO-accredited post-initial degree programmes, such as our MBA’s, are always offered exempt from VAT. All other executive education courses are in principle taxed with 21% VAT. A VAT exemption is beneficial for individuals and for organisations that cannot reclaim VAT. In that case, a 10% surcharge will be added to the VAT-exempted price. This means a major advantage compared to the price including VAT.
