Attached you will find two VIP brochures:
- Virtual International Programme (VIP) @JLU Giessen encompasses our regular courses (constantly available) along with general information about the programme. This course catalogue enables your students to plan ahead, incorporate a VIP course into their home timetable, and address potential recognition beforehand.
- A Student's Guide to the VIP Galaxy is designed for students and includes the extensive course catalogue for the upcoming winter semester. It also provides additional information about the programme and its accompanying activities. Feel free to share this brochure with your students.
The winter semester 2024/25 starts on 7 October 2024 with our online Orientation Week for all international students (OWIS).
We would love to have students from your institutions, our valued partner universities, join this programme and would highly appreciate it if you disseminate the Virtual International Programme (VIP) broadly among your campus community.
