Virtual Exchange for Students

Virtual Exchange brings students from different universities (and different countries!) to work together virtually on collaborative learning activities. Whatever the discipline, you’ll engage your course subject matter from different perspectives and develop your intercultural skills along the way. In short, virtual exchange gives you the opportunity to take online courses that award academic credit and gain an international, intercultural experience without having to travel abroad! There are courses during the semester or during the break.

For information about discipline specific virtual exchange courses at the University of Göttingen please ask the academic advisors in the faculties.
