For Students

UP University wants to offer an enriched European higher education experience for students of the member institutions of the UP Consortium and for students who would like to do our Joint Master in the future.

At UP University Alliance, we believe in learning that matters—for students, for society, and for the next generation. That’s why we’ve come together across Europe with a shared goal: to build a better future through responsible living, sustainability, inclusion, and civic responsibility

In a world facing big challenges—political, social, and economic—we think education should be both a source of stability and a spark for inspiration. As a student, we want you to feel hopeful, curious, and ready to make a difference in Europe and the world.

What does UP University mean for students?

More opportunities across UP institutions in Europe:

• Through collaboration within UP University, students will receive a more extensive educational offer of short and longer international mobility possibilities: from BIP to virtual courses to micro-credentials to international weeks and international internships.

• Through joint bachelor’s and master’s programmes, students can study in different countries and benefit from the strengths of multiple universities.

• Students will have easy educational pathways across Europe on offer: from associates degrees to academic and professional bachelors to masters, and PhDs.

European Citizenship:

• Students are part of a European UP community and can become true European citizens.

• UP University offers a rich multicultural and multilingual context

• UP University will engage students for ‘for a better Europe’ through ‘Responsible Living for the Next Generation.’

• Students will get the opportunity to be part of a European student council.

Connected research from the start: Students thinking of a PhD, are offered joint supervision, cross-border research, and international seminars to support early careers in a real research community.

Lifelong learning that fit students’ lives: With flexible options like micro credentials, students can build skills that complement their degree—or help them grow long after graduation.

For UP University, academic success means that our graduates are academically qualified, adaptable, and open to change. They are equipped to meet the international demands of today’s and tomorrow’s professional fields at various levels of complexity and are motivated and capable of actively shaping their environment while taking on responsibility in society. UP University offers the interdisciplinary opportunities to make this happen for students.

But UP University is not just about academic excellence—it is about creating real impact. It is a community built on trust, shared values, and the belief that we can shape the future by learning from each other and setting an example for the rest of the world.
