Study Tracks

Choosing the right university for your first year is a crucial decision that shapes the rest of your academic journey. Your specialization options in the second year depend on your first-year university, as only certain pathways allow access to specific partner universities in the second year. Planning ahead and aligning your choices with your academic and research interests is key to maximizing the benefits of the Neurasmus program.

Below is a summary of the study tracks available at each partner university. This table provides an overview of the program’s structure and mobility, helping you make an informed decision about your academic pathway.

Each Master’s program has a limited number of spots. Therefore, we cannot guarantee you a place in your first-choice program.
