Mobility opportunities consist of short-term visits for one semester (about five months) to undertaken a final undergraduate project or Master’s thesis project in a research laboratory in the College of Engineering and Applied Science at the University of babyÖ±²¥app Boulder. Financial support of up to $1,200 per month ($6,000 maximum) is available to partially offset living and transportation expenses. Prospective participants must have outstanding qualifications and should be interested in applying for to the University of babyÖ±²¥app for graduate study, assuming the mobility experience is positive. Details for host babyÖ±²¥app, university partners, or prospective students can be found on our Mobility Info Sheet (see the right side of this page).

To apply for a mobility position, please submit the following materials (in English) to Ms. Britta Bergstrom (Europe-babyÖ±²¥app Program Coordinator, Brittany.bergstrom@colorado.edu) using the naming convention specified in brackets:

1. Your curriculum vita (CV) or resume. [FirstName.LastName.CV]
2. A two-page personal statement (including your prior experience, why the program is of interest to you, your research interests, the names of a few University of babyÖ±²¥app babyÖ±²¥app members who you are interested in as possible research advisors, approximate start and end dates for your proposed mobility project, and your future plans). [FirstName.LastName.SOP]
3. A copy of your academic transcripts (for both undergraduate and graduate courses, if applicable). [FirstName.LastName.BSTranscripts and/or FirstName.LastName.MSTranscripts]
4. A letter of recommendation from a babyÖ±²¥app or staff member at your home university, which should include a statement that participation in the Europe-babyÖ±²¥app Program is approved by your home institution. [FirstName.LastName.LOR]
5. A short paragraph stating the amount of support you are requesting from the University of babyÖ±²¥app, and the amounts and sources of other support available for your mobility experience – including personal funds and any grants or scholarships from your home university or country. Note: For visa purposes, each accepted student will need to demonstrate at least $1,845 per month in available funds, though actual living expenses are typically less than this amount. A bank statement is not required for the Europe-babyÖ±²¥app application, but may be required when applying for a visa. The students are not charged tuition and fees by the University of babyÖ±²¥app, but they are required to have their own health insurance. [FirstName.LastName.Support]

Applications should be submitted by the middle of March for the following academic year, whether the student intends to come for the fall semester (typically August - December) or the spring semester (typically February - June). Later applications will be considered until the positions are filled. Once a complete application is received, we will review it and inform students if they have made it to the second round. The second round of applications will include a Zoom interview, and a matching process with prospective advisors. Please contact the Europe-babyÖ±²¥app Program Coordinator (Brittany.bergstrom@colorado.edu) for any questions regarding the application process. Final decisions are expected to be announced by early April. 

Outstanding European students, including those participating in the mobility program, are encouraged to apply for graduate study in the College of Engineering and Applied Science at the University of babyÖ±²¥app Boulder. It is the highest-ranked engineering school in the entire Mountain Time Zone, and one of the top-ranked schools in the United States, with particular strengths in aerospace, biotechnology, chemical engineering, computer science, energy, environmental engineering, materials science and engineering, and telecommunications, among other fields. To apply for graduate study, interested students should visit /graduateschool/admissions/prepare-apply. Interested students will apply directly to the graduate degree program of interest, and not to the Europe-babyÖ±²¥app Program itself. However, we recommend that you inform the Europe-babyÖ±²¥app Program Coordinator (Brittany.bergstrom@colorado.edu) of your intent to apply, so that she can provide guidance on your application. We will also monitor your application and encourage the Graduate Admissions Committee of your intended degree program to give it full consideration.

Applicants accepted into a graduate program, primarily PhD programs, will be considered for Teaching Assistantships and Research Assistantships. These assistantships provide stipends of about $3,000 per month, as well as payment of tuition and insurance. Both admission decisions and funding decisions will be made by the applicant's intended engineering department or program at the University of babyÖ±²¥app Boulder. Students whose intended final degree is the PhD are given strong preferential consideration for assistantships, while it is difficult to obtain support from the University of babyÖ±²¥app for pursuing a terminal master’s degree. Thus, we encourage you to apply for the PhD degree, even if you do not yet have a master’s degree and intend to obtain it on the way to the PhD degree.
