YUFE: a new European university 

Applying to take part in OpenYUFE

The OpenYUFE programme allows students to compile their own curriculum of academic and language courses, professional development training, and civic engagement opportunities offered across the ten YUFE universities. OpenYUFE also offers opportunities to volunteer or engage in group projects and challenges. The courses and activities available cover a wide range of subject areas and are hosted either online or in-person at the hosting institution.

The OpenYUFE programme is open for applications all year round. You can view the full catalogue of YUFE courses and activities on the YUFE Virtual Campus.

Undergraduate and postgraduate students can apply while they are registered at the University of Essex. All students studying at a YUFE university must have an English language level of B2 or higher.

For in-person study, undergraduate students must have a minimum mark of 50 in their first year.

As the OpenYUFE and YUFE Minors programmes increase in popularity we recommend that you submit your application as early as possible to avoid disappointment.

To apply, complete the application form on the YUFE Student Portal of the YUFE Virtual Campus. You will need to create an account to access the form, upload your details, and sign a co-creation agreement.

If you are interested in participating in OpenYUFE or the YUFE Minors in-person at one of our YUFE Partner Institutions, please advise the YUFE Essex Team by emailing yufestudentmobility@essex.ac.uk.
