Students’ exchange

In a year 1997 the first student exchange agreement with Kansai Gaidai (Japan) was signed. Subsequently, the student’s exchange treaties were signed with other Japanese universities: International Christian University (ICU), Waseda university. Since 2005 the relations were established with universities of South Korea, since 2009 with Taiwanese, and since 2012 with PRC’s universities. Through these exchange treaties our students annually are able to study in East Asian countries. Every year students from Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and China are coming to our university as well.

Presently there are more than 50 bilateral agreements signed with universities of East Asia:

In the field of Asian studies we cooperate with the Universities of Turku, Stockholm, Helsinki, Bucharest, Ljubljana, Tallinn, Tartu and Latvia using Erasmus+ agreements. VMU students  participate in competitions and often attain scholarships from Chinese government, Ministry of Education (MEXT) of Japan, Taiwan Scholarship, etc.

The student’s exchange with Asian universities is coordinated by VMU International Cooperation Department. If you have any questions, please refer to the coordinator of bilateral agreements.
