Students who interrupted their studies in Ukraine due to the war have the opportunity to take courses online at Bavarian universities via the vhb platform, and thus acquire ECTS credits that can be recognized at the Ukrainian home university later. The offer also applies to students who are not enrolled at a Bavarian university.

In order to participate in all CLASSIC vhb courses free of charge and to acquire ECTS credits, it is required that the students present proof of enrollment at a Ukrainian university for the winter semester 2021/22 or the summer semester 2022.

The program is primarily aimed at Ukrainian students with German language skills, since most of the courses are German taught. There are also 78 English language courses offered.

If enrollment is not available, the vhb provides an additional 100 online courses via the OPEN vhb platform.?

Please note: a study program cannot be completed by visiting only vhb courses.
