Study abroad from home with the Unite Virtual Exchange Program (VECP)

Study Abroad Without Leaving Home: The VECP Program
Studying abroad without leaving home might seem paradoxical, but thanks to the Virtual Exchange Credit Program (VECP), it is possible.

The VECP initiative was launched in July 2020 in response to the global pandemic. The goal was to create new opportunities for students to continue their academic journey despite the mobility challenges posed by the Covid-19 pandemic. It is one of the longest-running collaboration projects within the Unite! alliance.

The program allows students to choose online courses offered by partner universities, earn credit points, and enrich their study programs, making higher education more flexible and accessible.

Currently, the Unite! consortium offers VECP courses in the field of energy as well as multicultural and multilingual courses.

Program Goals:

• Increase the number of virtual mobilities,
• Ensure broad integration of students regardless of their material and social situation.
• Support students in achieving an international study path,
• Expand access to specialized knowledge of partner universities through online courses

Take advantage of VECP courses and enhance your academic and international experience from the comfort of your home. The currently available courses under the program can be found in the Unite! Student Catalogue and on the Unite! offerings page.

If you know of a course that should be added to the Unite! VECP offerings, you can suggest it.
