Shopping for the new school year
Studying in Rotterdam means enjoying everything the city has to offer, but your student budget is not unlimited. Luckily, various shops in Rotterdam City Centre offer discounts with a valid student card. From a new outfit to a laptop for your studies, these student deals help you save some extra money.
Want to refresh your wardrobe while making a sustainable choice? At De Swapshop, you’ll find a carefully curated collection of second-hand clothing, vintage finds and unique pieces. Students can temporarily enjoy an extra €5 discount when spending €10 or more. Simply use the discount code EUREKA in one of the shops at Oude Binnenweg 113 or Weena 70. The offer is valid until 30 September 2026.
Want to do more than just shop? Make space in your wardrobe by bringing in clothes you no longer wear. In return, you’ll receive swaps that can be used as discounts across the entire collection. That way, you give your clothes a second life while finding new favourites at a lower price.
A tablet or a reliable laptop is almost essential when you’re a student. It’s no secret that these devices can be quite expensive, but Amac offers a discount that can make things a little easier. When you show your student card, you can benefit from education pricing if you study at an MBO, HBO or university and are 18 years or older.
Looking for a new pair of jeans, comfortable basics or trendy clothing? At American Eagle and Aerie on the Lijnbaan, students receive 20% off their purchases. With a valid student card, you can shop the latest collections from both brands at a lower price. American Eagle is known for its denim and casual clothing, while Aerie offers lingerie, loungewear and comfortable everyday essentials.
Looking for the perfect pair of jeans at a student-friendly price? At Levi’s, students can enjoy 20% off via UNiDAYS. Simply verify your student status through UNiDAYS to get access to the discount. The discount can be used both online and in-store.
From the iconic 501 jeans to new denim styles, T-shirts and accessories, the student discount allows you to shop your favourite Levi’s pieces at a slightly lower price.
Looking for a new outfit at a lower price? At Weekday, students receive 11% off their purchases. To use the discount, simply verify your student status via the Weekday website or one of their partner platforms, such as UNiDAYS or Student Beans. After verification, you’ll receive a personal discount code that can be used at checkout.
At Dr. Martens, you’ll find the brand’s iconic leather boots as well as distinctive bags and accessories. For those looking for a more sustainable option, the Lijnbaan store also offers shoes and bags made from vegan leather.
Make a statement in the lecture hall with a new pair of Dr. Martens and take confident steps into your student life. Students can enjoy 10% off selected styles via UNiDAYS or Student Beans.
For clothing that’s perfect for lectures, internships or a night out, head to WE Fashion. Students receive 10% off through the WE IS ME student programme. The discount can be used both online and in-store and is available to students who sign up for the programme. Haven’t signed up yet? You’ll also receive a €5 welcome discount.
As a student in Rotterdam, you’ll naturally spend plenty of time in the city centre. Streetwear is a must-have, and Urban Outfitters is the perfect place to find your next favourite pieces. The store offers a mix of vintage-inspired styles and contemporary streetwear from brands such as Iets Frans, Dickies and adidas. The international retailer first opened in 1970 opposite the University of Pennsylvania and now has stores all over the world, including Rotterdam City Centre.
At the Rotterdam location, you’ll find women’s and men’s clothing, fashion accessories and homeware. Shop the latest styles from brands such as adidas, BDG, FILA, Levi’s, MINKPINK, Nike, OBEY, RAINS and many more.
Visit the store in the Koopgoot and enjoy 10% student discount when you show your student card!
Students can also enjoy a discount at Hunkemöller. With a valid student card and a Hunkemöller Member account, you’ll receive 10% off in-store. The discount applies to a wide range of products, including lingerie, sportswear, swimwear and accessories.
Enjoy getting creative during your studies? At Pipoos, students receive 8% off their purchases when showing a valid student card. Whether you’re looking for craft supplies, materials for a creative project, hobby items or something fun for your home interior, this discount helps you shop your favourite items at a lower price.
Of course, you’ll want to do something fun every now and then during your studies in Rotterdam. How about a cultural day out? Kunsthal Rotterdam is a place where you’ll discover exhibitions and events you won’t find anywhere else in the Netherlands. This unique venue hosts inspiring exhibitions and activities that change throughout the year.
With around 25 exhibitions each year, there is always something new to discover. Contemporary art, photography, fashion and design all have a place at Kunsthal Rotterdam. One of its biggest strengths is the impressive collaborations it creates with artists, museums and organisations.
Museum visits can sometimes be expensive on a student budget, but Kunsthal Rotterdam offers a discount for students. Show your student card and pay €12 for a ticket instead of €19. A great way to enjoy culture without spending too much!
One of the city’s newest icons is the impressive Depot Boijmans Van Beuningen. With its striking round shape and rooftop trees, the building has already earned nicknames such as ‘the flower pot’ or simply ‘the pot’. The Depot is also home to the largest mirrored façade in the world. The entire building opposite Museumpark is covered in reflective panels, creating a spectacular view of Rotterdam’s skyline.
And if the architecture alone wasn’t impressive enough, the Depot also houses an incredible art collection. Students can enjoy almost 50% off their visit when they show a valid student card.
A trip to the cinema is always a fun way to spend an evening, and as a student in Rotterdam you can get discounts at several cinemas. KINO, Cinerama and LantarenVenster all offer students a few euros off their tickets.
A special tip for students at Codarts and KonCon: you can get 50% off selected concerts at LantarenVenster. This conservatory discount is available when you show your Codarts or KonCon student card.
One thing you can’t avoid: your hair keeps growing, so every now and then it’s time for a visit to the hairdresser. And that can be quite an expense. If you want to look your best without having to rely on your housemate for a DIY haircut, Rob Peetoom offers a discount for students. Young people up to 21 years old and students receive 20% off from Monday to Friday before 6 pm when showing a valid ID or student card.
Not every shop advertises its student discount clearly. That’s why it’s always a good idea to bring your student card and ask at the checkout if a discount is available. In some cases, you’ll need to sign up for a student programme first, but it can save you quite a few euros in the end.
