Zaproszenie do programu Virtual International Programme na Justus Liebig Universität w Giessen

Justus Liebig University in Giessen (Germany) announces recruitment for the Virtual International Program (VIP) for the winter semester 2025/26. The VIP program is addressed to students interested in a virtual exchange at Justus Liebig University - however, we would like to inform you that this program is an additional offer and is not intended to replace a physical exchange at a foreign university (e.g. under the ERASMUS+ program).

Students can select one or more seminars and lectures from a diverse catalogue of completely online studies. As the offer is part of JLU's regular curriculum, enrolled students will benefit from an international learning environment. After successfully completing the virtual exchange semester, students will receive a Transcript of Records with ECTS points. Participation in the Virtual International Program at JLU is free of charge.
