LMU Munich now enables students to take online courses from international partner universities and earn credits. This virtual exchange program is a joint initiative of several members of the League of European Research Universities, and is intended to allow students to gain international experience having to actually go abroad.
LMU Munich and the partner organizations offer a variety of online courses. The subjects are accessible for students enrolled at one of the participating universities, granted they meet the requirements. The range of courses will be frequently updated so make sure to check back regularly.
