University of Tuebingen free, credit-bearing online synchronous courses

[Robson]

Free credits + live teaching sessions? I'm not aware of any other program quite like this.

Very interesting find, thank you!

Damn it, I thought I could keep TÜ-VIP a personal secret. Now with thousands of more qualified applicants from degreeforum, I'll never get a chance to take part in this programme, haha.

[BritStudent]

Yes, and please anyone considering signing up for these make sure you are committed as these courses sound very small-group based and led and if you drop out or don't do the work you would be screwing over the other members of your team.

[wow]

This is a great find. I'm a little confused about the whole application process, bur hopefully will figure it out. Not sure if they'll accept non-trad students but I'd really love to improve my German and take the Swahili class.

[wow]

Has anyone completed the application? I've looked at the first couple pages but kind of want to know what's coming on the next page before I start filling it out since it doesn't look like you can save it to finish later. For example, I'm wondering if for US students, this is limited to Those attending regionally accredited universities. Also if there are age limitations. Please excuse the random capitalization. My computer just does that.

RIP Australia

RIP Australia

Australia as the continent that's not on the list... Would that include New Zealand as well?

[wow]

Are we sure they're not counting Australia and NZ as part of Asia?
