ATHENA Virtual Mobility Programme
VIRTUAL INTERNATIONAL PROGRAMME OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MARIBOR
In the 2024/2025 study year, the University of Maribor will start with a new project, virtual mobility. The University of Maribor has a long history of sending and receiving students to and from partner universities worldwide. We now offer opportunities to study virtually at our university.
From the 1st semester of the 2024/2025 study year, we will offer online classes, which will be open to all international students from our partner universities.
Students must enter the courses in the Learning Agreement. The courses will be recognised in the same way as face-to-face courses.
WHAT IS VIRTUAL MOBILITY?
Virtual mobility is the participation in relevant digital learning activities offered by an international partner university other than the home university. The activities are offered for educational purposes and/or allow students to acquire new competences and knowledge without the necessity of physical mobility.

- Gain international experience without having to travel
