TÜ-VIP: Connect with Students Around the World — Online

Are you interested in studying abroad, but unable to travel right now? Or perhaps you would like to gain an international experience without leaving your home university?

TÜ-VIP (Tübingen – Virtual Intercultural Program) gives students the opportunity to meet and learn with students from around the world — entirely online.

The 10-week program offers a range of courses taught in an international, interactive environment, including:

• Sustainability
• Politics
• Intercultural Communication
• German and other language courses
• Identity and Culture
• Artificial Intelligence (AI)
• Human Rights

Each course is worth 4 ECTS credits and can be taken alongside your regular studies at your home university.

More than just online classes

TÜ-VIP is designed to help students build international connections, develop intercultural skills, and expand their networks for future study and career opportunities. Participants can also join our online buddy program, giving them the chance to get to know Tübingen and learn more about life at the University of Tübingen.

The program is an excellent way to prepare for a future stay abroad — including a possible period of study at the University of Tübingen. It is also open to students returning home after completing a period of study in Tübingen.

Applications for October 2026 are now open!
