Connecting with our European partners

YUFE: creating a new European University

We're part of ground-breaking plans to develop a new ‘European University’ as part of the pioneering Young Universities for the Future of Europe (YUFE).

YUFE is one of just 17 alliances of European universities selected by the European Commission to take part in its programme to create European universities by bringing together institutions from across the continent.

The YUFE Alliance is a network of 10, young, student-centred research-intensive universities and two non-academic partners across Europe.

YUFE provides students with the opportunity to study a variety of academic modules, learn new languages, and connect and collaborate with other students across the YUFE network.

YERUN: building links across Europe

We are collaborating with the Young European Research Universities Network (YERUN) to develop joint research and teaching initiatives and to maximise mobility, research capacities and the employability of our graduates.
