The Young Universities for the Future of Europe (YUFE) Alliance is proud to announce the launch of its groundbreaking Joint Bachelor in Urban Sustainability Studies, set to begin in the academic year 2025–2026. This innovative programme* is designed to address the pressing environmental challenges facing both cities and rural areas, preparing the next generation of leaders to drive sustainable urban development across Europe.
This unique three-year degree will offer students the opportunity to engage with sustainability issues in diverse European contexts, providing them with a comprehensive, hands-on education. Participants will explore solutions to the most urgent urban and rural sustainability challenges while earning a joint Bachelor’s degree, recognized by seven top universities within the YUFE network.
The programme offers a dynamic and flexible learning experience. In the first year, students will focus on foundational skills and knowledge, with the option to study at any of the seven partner universities. In years two and three, students will have the chance to personalize their studies by selecting minors from across 10 YUFE universities, matching their strengths and interests and gaining international experience by studying at multiple locations throughout Europe. The programme culminates in a dissertation project that allows students to showcase their expertise in urban sustainability.
YUFE’s Joint Bachelor in Urban Sustainability Studies is not just about academics; it’s a collaborative, global learning experience. Students will work alongside peers, professors, and industry leaders from across Europe, tackling real-world sustainability challenges in a creative, interactive environment. This programme fosters lifelong professional connections, equipping graduates with the skills, knowledge, and networks necessary to lead in the evolving field of urban sustainability.
With applications now open, prospective students are encouraged to join one of YUFE’s upcoming webinars to learn more about this exciting new opportunity.

* This programme has been officially approved by NVAO (Accreditation Organisation of the Netherlands and Flanders) following an external peer review under the European Approach for the Quality Assurance of Joint Programmes. National recognition of the programme is in progress in all countries of the degree-awarding partners.
