What are YUFE Minors?
It’s a 30 ECTS programme built around a theme that matters—like sustainability, inclusion, or innovation. You’ll mix regular academic courses with the Challenge Course, where you team up with other students to solve real-world problems from local organisations. Think hands-on, not just textbooks.
Many YUFE Minors also include optional electives, and yes, some are available online, allowing you to take them from other YUFE universities across Europe. It’s flexible, cross-border learning that connects you with students, professors, and changemakers from all over the continent.

Why choose a Minor?
Are you a student at a YUFE partner university? This is your chance to mix things up and study abroad in a whole new way.
- Dive into a themed module at another European university
- Team up on real-life challenges in the Challenge Course
- Boost your research, teamwork & problem-solving skills
- Learn in a hands-on, collaborative environment
The Challenge Course is a must-do part of every YUFE Minor, think practical projects, real impact, and working with cool people across Europe.
