• Submit a separate application to the EUMaster4HPC programme.

Student's mobility path

Before making their choice, applicants should note that if they completed their bachelor’s degree in a country where one of the awarding universities is located, they cannot start their first year of the EUMaster4HPC there. Instead, they must select a different awarding university in another country to ensure academic mobility and a diverse learning experience.

Selecting Universities

In Step 3 of the application form, applicants must select the university preferred for Year 1 and the university preferred for Year 2, and may also indicate an alternative option in case one of the preferred universities does not accept the application.

• Preferred for Year 1: University intended for the first year of study.
• Preferred for Year 2: University intended for the second year of study.
• Alternative option: A backup university if either the Year 1 or Year 2 preferred university does not accept the application.

Please be aware that while applicants' choices will be considered, they may not be granted. The selection committee may also offer an alternative pathway based on availability and programme requirements.
