1 Rtterdam Schl f Management, Erasmus University Internatinal practices in selective admissin Adri Meijdam Executive Directr Bachelr Internatinal Business Administratin

2 Internatinal Business Administratin (IBA) BA Dutch-language Dutch students large scale, fragmented IBA English-language natinalities chesive pen: 850 => 820 Selective: => 400 lcal market zesjescultuur glbal ambitius

3 IBA: an internatinal prgramme Prgramme taught in English Internatinal student bdy Internatinal teaching staff Intended internatinal learning utcmes: cntent, skills, attitude Develpment f crss-cultural cmpetences thrugh wrking in culturally diverse teams Learning f Dutch language facilitated Learning f ther freign languages facilitated Internatinal exchange with renwned schls Summer prgrammes True Bachelr Master: crss traffic after Bachelr with ther B-schls f A-status RSM is dedicated member f CIS active recruiting at internatinal schls Internatinally accredited: AACSB, EQUIS, AMBA NVAO Certificate in Internatinalisatin Internatinally ranked: Financial Times, Wall Street Jurnal, Business Week, Neue Karriere

4 Why IBA wrks with selective admissin Legislatin: it is allwed (*) Demand: mre applicants than places Chice: there is an alternative Habit (and expectatins): all (gd) business schls d it Quality: selected students are better students Multicultural classrm: IBA wants t influence cmpsitin f student bdy

5 * A stry in selective admissin Frm fixus t selectin started in 2000, as part f Bedrijfskunde NF in place fr Bedrijfskunde => decentralized selectin applied fr pilt status with Selectie aan de Prt wrks with full selectin since 2005 Hw IBA qualified fr full selectin already in decentralized prcedure within NF erkende evidente meerwaarde had t be prven which did nt wrk instead: selectin criteria needed t have a relatinship with the learning utcmes and way f delivery f the prgramme cncept f matching still valuable fr future requests

6 N disadvantages? Rlling admissin puts risk n the side f the prgramme Ttal number f applicants unknwn Difficult t achieve exact target Early decisins sensitive fr cmpetitin by ther schls Detailed knwledge f educatinal systems and grading wrldwide required (a 9 in Lithuania is nt a 9 in NL) DUO is nt used t wrk with fully selective prgrammes

7 Subtle differences between NF-DS vs Selectin Frmally: selectin des nt require a Numerus Fixus NF with DS is fixed prcedure (vs. flexibility fr the prgramme) NF with DS: selectin 50% maximum (vs 100%) selectin n grades in DS nt allwed (vs. active selectin n grades) applicatin deadline & fixed ffering mment (vs. rlling admissin) deadline fr deficiencies (vs. late qualificatins) wrking with IBG/DUO: sending C1-file up and dwn => n flexibility after deadline (vs. managing the applicatins yurself) risk f undesired late placements (vs. flexibility in admissin)

8 Recent develpments in selective admissin NF with DS: selectin 50% => 100% selectin grades allwed remaining differences between NF with DS and full selectin: NF is fixed prcedure (vs. flexibility fr the prgramme) applicatin deadline (vs. rlling admissin) deadline fr deficiencies (vs. late qualificatins) wrking with IBG/DUO: sending C1-file up and dwn => n flexibility after deadline (vs. managing the applicatins yurself) risk f undesired late placements (vs. flexibility in admissin)

10 Wh we recruit at IBA Generally: internatinal students Internatinal: - by rigin - by mindset - by educatin Internatinals: freign students frm abrad Dutch students frm abrad freign students frm the Netherlands Dutch students frm the Netherlands

11 Recruitment & Admissins Grid Dutch nn-dutch NL 40% 10% Abrad 10% 40%

12 Wh we recruit at IBA By educatin Internatinal Baccalaureate internatinal schls, abrad and in NL Eurpean Baccalaureate - Eurpean schls Bilingual secndary schl (TTVWO) Lcal schls abrad VWO: limited

14 Selectin criteria fr IBA Selectin n: internatinal backgrund internatinal mtivatin/ambitins grades

15 Internatinal backgrund Internatinal backgrund natinality citizenship descent place f birth past r current residence educatin internatinal experiences travelling Internships language curses

16 Mtivatin Mtivatin: student s internatinal drive mtivatin letter subject f Extended Essay/ Prfielwerkstuk ambitins: academically and afterwards careers: functins, cmpanies, places participating in internatinal events (MUN e.g.) Letter in English cncise fur subjects

17 Grades End-f-year reprt f the befre last year (5=>6 VWO; IB 1=>2) = past perfrmance = where we base ur ffer upn Grade list f final exam (fr thse students wh graduated a year befre) Optin t imprve in final year ( shw it t us! ) Careful use f predicted grades

18 Grades (TT)VWO : average 7.0 ; English 7.0, Math A 7.0 (B = 6.0) (n further) test f English required IB : 33 pints including EE, TOK, CAS (6 * 5 = 30); Math SL 5 (HL 4), English A SL/HL 5, English B HL 5 EB : average 7; Mathematics A 7, Mathematics B 6, English 7 High Schl : nly accepted if cmbined with AP r by taking mathematics exam; SAT might help but des nt suffice AP : 3 Abitur : average 1.8; Mathematics 10, English 10 ASO : average 7; Mathematics 7, English 7 Fr.

21 Gd students Academic perfrmance: IBA drp ut after 1st year 17% vs 40% in BA passing rates exams higher than in BA average grades higher than in BA Cum Laude IBA 30 vs BA 4 Acceptance at tp schls fr graduate studies => assistant jbs, the best exchange spts, case cmpetitins Study climate: mtivated and ambitius students strng grup feeling Cmmitment: prud t be a student at RSM grupwrk in culturally diverse grups appreciated > 25% applies t be a Mentr.

22 A diverse student ppulatin The Dutch - by default sent t Dutch-language BA prgramme - need slid mtivatin t be selected - grades are selective as such: grup ver 7.0 is nt that big The Germans - apply in large numbers - risk f having secnd dminating grup => cap - first reductin by grades: 1.8 and 10 English and 10 Math is high - secnd reductin with regard t desired balance in prgramme

23 A few pints t discuss 1. Are grades really relevant in the selectin prcess fr an internatinal prgramme? 2. Can yu measure mtivatin adequately? 3. Isn t selectin n internatinal backgrund discriminating? 4. Isn t this whle selectin discussin a luxury that nly a few prgrammes with a high demand can affrd? 5. Is it wrth the effrt t g fr full selectin nw that NF with DS allws s much?
