Online Exchange Initiative (OEI)

Since the fall semester 2020, students of the University of Mannheim can study virtually at our ENGAGE.EU partner universities within the Online Exchange Initiative (OEI). As a participant, you will be part of a virtual and international classroom. Benefit from international learning opportunities and exchange ideas with students from different countries! Students may choose from the partner's online course offer and can apply for usually up to three online courses per semester which they take parallel to their studies at University of Mannheim. This includes taking exams and receiving ECTS credits – depending on the study program, recognition of credits at University of Mannheim is possible.

As of Fall 2024, ENGAGE.EU partner universities will open online courses for the Online Exchange Initiative that are taught in local languages of instructions, next to English. So, in addition to courses taught in English, you may find courses taught in Bulgarian, Catalan, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Norwegian, Spanish and Swedish. Proficiency in the courses' language of instruction at level B2 (for Bachelors' courses) and C1 (for Masters' courses) accroding to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages is required.
