Every year, Circle U. member universities welcome a number of students for study mobility. Students who would like to spend one or two semesters at one of these universities must follow the application procedures for the Erasmus + programme.

Short study stays through one of the Circle U programmes.

Students can also go abroad for a short period of time as part of their studies thanks to the hybrid courses which have been developed within Circle U..The themes of those programmes are diverse and allow student to develop new skills. The aim of the European alliance is to give them the keys to tackling major challenges facing our societies and thus facilitate their integration into the job market.

Circle U’s main programmes :
– The CU. MUN: the United Nations simulation enables students to spend a week living the life of a diplomat and to debate the major issues facing our societies.
– Entrepreneurial Change-making helps students to create a sustainable business project.
– Circle U. summer schools enable students from all the member universities of the alliance to meet and exchange ideas and experiences.

Online courses and conferences

Circle U. regularly offers other opportunities to help students to internationalise their university curriculum. Most recently, the European alliance has launched a series of online ‘Open Conversations’ which aim to discuss its key themes.
The first Circle U. Open Conversation was launched on the theme of ‘The Politics of Poverty and Hope’.

Events on your campus

Events are also being organised on the university campuses. The Circle U. team from UPCité’s International Relations Department takes part in Java every year and organises events during Erasmus Days in October and Europe Month.
