The Woudestein Campus of the Erasmus University Rotterdam, where IHS is located, combines modernity and convenience. On campus, students find themselves living and studying among uniquely modern architecture and facilities, helping them feel at home. They have access to a wide variety of services, from spacious study areas and food & beverages places to a sport centre and shops.
Study spaces
Bad wifi at home? Or do you simply want to engage in an inspiring study atmosphere with excellent facilities? Study spaces are available in multiple buildings across the campus: in Polak building, Sanders building and the University Library. The Polak building has some of the most captivating interior and exterior architectures on campus, creating a unique self-study experience. Students can come at their convenience for group meetings or just individual studying.
Food & drinks
Looking for places where you can either come to sit, relax and enjoy your food, or grab a quick bite while you’re in a hurry? Not to worry, as the campus offers a wide range of cafes. The popular Paviljoen Grand café is not only a café but also a culture and science hub, with multiple events often being held here. Groceries shopping is also available within the campus, which helps make your daily shopping more convenient.
Art & culture
On campus, you are surrounded by art at every corner, either indoors or outdoors, which helps students feel incorporated among the art without even entering a gallery or exhibition. However, students can also pay a visit to the Erasmus Gallery, an exhibition centre right on campus. In addition, there are multiple cultural venues across the vibrant Woudestein campus, where events, talks and seminars are often organised for students to join.
Sports
The Erasmus Sport Center on the Woudestein campus offers a wide range of sports programs throughout the academic year, with the help of professional trainers. With an Erasmus Sport pass, you will also receive discounts on many sports services in Rotterdam. A mobile app also helps you to check how crowded the Erasmus Sport gym is before going. After a good workout, you can relax at a Sports Café which offers delicious food and beverages.
Services
Did you know there is a hairdresser right on the Woudestein campus? Yes, you read that right! Hairdesign by Lydia is a popular spot for Erasmus students, where you can just come by for a simple haircut or a complex hair design after class. A wide range of other services, such as copyshops, bike repair, school supply vending machines, job agency, etc., are also provided for staff, students and visitors to make your campus life easier and more convenient.
