Enrollment Process

Enrolling in the Neurasmus program is a two-step process that ensures students are registered both at the Université de Bordeaux and at their subsequent partner universities. During the Neurasmus Welcome Days, held at the end of August in Bordeaux, all students complete their initial enrollment at the Université de Bordeaux. However, students must also handle local registration procedures at each partner university they study at throughout the program.

These registrations may vary depending on the university, with some requiring annual and others biannual enrollments. Partner universities provide support to help students navigate these local processes and meet all necessary deadlines.

Joint Enrollment

The Neurasmus program begins with a compulsory introduction session in Bordeaux. This session is an essential part of the program and brings together students and representatives from all partner universities. It serves as a foundation for both academic and social engagement, introducing students to the program’s expectations, European academic practices, and ethical standards.

During this session, students receive comprehensive practical support to help them prepare for their mobility and complete administrative requirements. The Neurasmus Office facilitates the following key steps:

  • Signature of the Student Agreement: This document outlines the contract between the student and the Neurasmus Consortium. Download the Student Agreement Template for the Scholarship Funded Scheme / Self-Funded Scheme.
  • Opening of a French Bank Account: Essential for students receiving an Erasmus Mundus scholarship.
  • Payment Procedure for Self-Funded Students: Ensures participation costs are settled appropriately.
  • Insurance Scheme Application: All students are covered by the Erasmus Mundus Insurance Scheme 2 (EMIS 2), provided by Marsh Company, in line with European standards. Detailed information and insurance cards are distributed during the Welcome Days.

The Welcome Days are also an opportunity for students to get to know each other through social activities, fostering a sense of community from the very beginning of the program.

Second Enrollment

Following the initial registration in Bordeaux, students must complete local registration procedures at each of their partner universities. These registrations may differ depending on the university, with some requiring an annual process and others biannual.

Students are responsible for completing these procedures independently but will receive support from the partner universities to meet local deadlines.

Important note on fees:
Neurasmus participation costs include all tuition fees. Students are not required to pay any additional fees at partner universities unless they choose specific services not included in the main registration.

Diploma Recognition : For Chinese Students only

Chinese students enrolling at a Dutch or German university as part of the Neurasmus program must obtain the following certifications:

  • APS (Akademische Prüfstelle) Certificate for German universities.
  • Nuffic Certificate for Dutch universities.

These certificates verify the authenticity of the applicant’s documents and may include an assessment of English language proficiency (e.g., an interview or academic test). Once validated, the certificates confirm that the documents submitted are genuine.

Key Points:

  • Chinese nationals living outside of China must also apply for these certificates.
  • The requirement applies to all Chinese students staying in the Netherlands or Germany for more than three months.
