Based on the positive response during previous semesters, JLU has decided to make the VIP a permanent offer addressing international students interested in a virtual exchange experience at JLU. Please be assured that this programme constitutes an additional offer and is not meant to replace physical exchange at our university. We would appreciate if you could share the information with your students once again and thus support this possibility.

The VIP invites international students from our partner universities around the world to gain international study experience as complement of their studies in their home countries. International students get to choose one or more seminars and lectures from a varied study catalogue taught completely online. This offer includes over 60 online courses from 9 faculties at JLU at undergraduate and graduate level, held in English, German, Spanish, French language. As the offer is part of the regular JLU curriculum, international students enrolled will benefit from an international learning environment.

In addition to the specialized courses, our VIP offers interdisciplinary online courses and 200 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 11, 2022. The courses start mid of April 2022. For further information about the course offer and the application process, please visit our JLU Digital Campus.

We are very much looking forward to welcoming your students for a unique virtual experience at JLU and providing them with an international academic exchange, even in times of pandemic-related travel restrictions.

We highly appreciate if you could disseminate our Virtual International Programme broadly among your campus community. Please contact our Mobility Team for inquiries about the programme, the course selection or the application process:
