Below is the notice from the Justus Liebig University Giessen (JLU) regarding the Virtual International Program (VIP) in the summer semester 2023:
“We are pleased to share with you the course catalogue on JLU’s Virtual International Programme (VIP) for summer semester 2023. We would love to have students from your institutions, our valued partner universities, join this program, so feel free to share this information with students interested in a virtual exchange experience at JLU starting this April.
VIP is a permanent offer of JLU’s cooperation activities and addresses international students interested in a virtual exchange experience to complement their studies in their home countries. For participating in the programme, students from our partner universities do not pay any registration, enrolment or credit fees to JLU. Students can apply directly online, we do not ask for official nominations beforehand.
International students get to choose one or more seminars and lectures from a varied study catalogue taught completely online. This offer includes over 40 online courses from 10 faculties at JLU at undergraduate and graduate level, held in various languages. As the offer is part of the regular JLU curriculum, enrolled international students will benefit from an international learning environment.
In addition to the specialized courses, our VIP offers interdisciplinary online courses and exclusive places in 3 online German language courses for beginners. Upon successful completion of the virtual exchange semester, international students will receive a Transcript of Records with credit points from JLU. Participation in the Virtual International Programme at JLU is free of charge for students from our partner universities.
Students are able to apply for the programme up to February 12th, 2023. We will also have an online question time on January 31st, 2023, at 2pm (CEST) where students can ask their questions regarding the application process or the programme in general (see flyer attached).The summer semester starts April 3rd, 2023 with our online Orientation Week for all international students.
