Erasmus+ Mobility
Mobility will be an important part of your YUFE experience. In case you wish to go on physical exchange to another YUFE university, please read the information below carefully.
The tables below provide you with find key information about physical Erasmus mobility opportunities between YUFE partner universities. This includes information on courses, grading systems, housing, visas, insurance, and other aspects of studying abroad.
Please note that the information provided is intended as a guide. Some partner universities may not yet have published their course catalogues for the relevant academic year, and course availability may therefore be subject to change. The course catalogues should be used as a reference when exploring potential mobility destinations.
In addition to the courses offered through the YUFE Virtual Campus, students may also take or complement these with other listed in some of the partner universities' course catalogues. While it is possible to combine these two course offerings, please note that courses outside the YUFE course catalogue are subject to the host university's own admission and registration procedures and might not count towards your YUFE programme. As a result, YUFE cannot guarantee that a place will be available in these courses.
To ensure equal access to mobility opportunities for all YUFE students, the alliance works with joint expression of interest deadlines:
For exchange in Spring 2027 exchange: deadline was 15 March 2026 (but please check if your university also accepts late expressions of interest by 13 September 2026)
For exchange in Fall 2027: deadline is 14 March 2027
If you are interested in participating in a YUFE mobility, you must submit your expression of interest to your local Decentral Admissions Officer (DAO) by the relevant deadline.
Please also contact your local DAO to find out when the mobility call opens at your home university and if you have any questions regarding the application process, eligibility requirements, or mobility opportunities.

Please note that Maastricht University uses the Problem Based Learning (PBL) methodology to teach. This requires students to actively take part in the tutorial meetings. The PBL method is explicitly student-centered rather than teacher-centered, and the students are expected to take the initiative. Speaking up and actively taking part in discussions is a crucial part of the system and this will also influence the students’ final grades. Therefore, it is extremely important that incoming students have an excellent knowledge of both written and spoken English (B2 level). More in-depth information about the Problem Based Learning can be found here. Click here Incoming students are only allowed to take master’s level courses if they already have a relevant bachelor’s degree; even then, acceptance depends on the hosting UM Faculty.
