Open applications for YUFE’s joint bachelor in Urban Sustainability Studies 2026/2027

In the first year, students build a foundation in sustainability, urban planning, data-driven decision-making, and interdisciplinary problem-solving while studying at one of the partner universities. In years two and three, they personalise their studies by choosing minors across the YUFE network, from themes such as inclusive digital tools, sustainable mobility, circular economy, or resilient urban design, and study in different European locations. The degree culminates in a dissertation project where students apply their knowledge to a real urban sustainability challenge.

The YUFE Joint Bachelor goes beyond academic learning. Students become part of a collaborative European learning community, working alongside peers, academics, and professionals from across Europe to tackle sustainability challenges.

They will:

• Build international experience and professional networks
• Develop practical, future-ready skills
• Graduate with the insight and credentials to become leaders in urban sustainability

Applications are now open via the Urban Sustainability webpage. Prospective students can explore the programme, learn more about the application process, and secure their place in this flagship YUFE degree.
