Join the program

The Edu4Chip program is implemented locally by each partner university. While the program shares a common vision and structure, admission and enrollment procedures are handled independently by each institution.

To join as a student, you must apply directly to the relevant degree program at the university of your choice. Below, you can find specific information about each university’s admission procedures (as a link to their program page). You can also see how Edu4Chip is implemented in more detail across the universities at the Program and curriculum page.
