The EUR Student Wellbeing Programme supports students in their personal development and wellbeing throughout their academic journey, so they can grow in balance.
We encourage students to actively take care of their physical, mental and social wellbeing, so they can thrive, both personally and academically. We put this into practice by coordinating a university-wide approach to student wellbeing. Together with faculties, support services, and external partners, we develop wellbeing initiatives, strengthen staff expertise, and help ensure that students can easily access appropriate support throughout their university journey.
Our initiatives
Together with faculties, departments across EUR, and external partners we develop and support a range of initiatives that contribute to student wellbeing and personal development. Some examples are:
- The Living Room: a central place on campus to relax, connect with others and find support.
- ROOM to grow, a personal development app that supports students in working on their wellbeing and growth at their own pace.
- Student Wellbeing Week: activities focused on wellbeing, personal development and connection.
- Workshops, events and coaching sessions throughout the year
- Innovative initiatives, such as the Sports & Leadership pilot, exploring new ways to support wellbeing and development within the university.
Research, monitoring and development
Research and monitoring provide the evidence that helps us understand students' needs, evaluate our work, and continuously improve our approach to student wellbeing.
Our work is informed by:
- The biennial EUR Student Wellbeing Monitor.
- The national monitor on mental health, alcohol, drugs, tobacco, and vaping among students.
- Ongoing user research to improve our services, including ROOM to grow.
Collaboration across EUR
Student wellbeing is a shared responsibility. We work closely with faculties, educators, researchers, support services, and other partners across Erasmus University Rotterdam.
Each faculty has a Student Wellbeing Officer, helping to connect policy, expertise and practice and ensuring that student wellbeing is embedded in the different faculties.
