To spend one or two semesters at IULM, students from partner universities must first be nominated by their home university coordinator/contact person. After the nomination, students will receive instructions to complete the application.

Funding for incoming mobility of Ukrainian students

In order to further support Ukrainian students, on an exceptional basis it is possible to fund incoming mobility projects for study, reserved for students enrolled at a Ukrainian university at the time of their flight from Ukraine.

To safeguard the quality of activities and their implementation, the following additional flexibility measures apply:

  • Students will be able to apply directly to IULM University;
  • An inter-institutional agreement between IULM University and the Ukrainian university will not be required;
  • Nominations will not be required;
  • The Learning Agreement can only be signed by the student and IULM University;
  • IULM University will welcome incoming students without applying deadlines for nominations.

Ukrainian students will still need to submit at least one of the following documents: enrollment certificates, statements issued by Ukrainian universities or relevant Ukrainian authorities.

Interested students may contact IULM University at [email protected].
