This time,it is pleasure to share with you the latest Season 2, 2023-4 are open to students at APRU member universities including Waseda.
It opens up international education opportunities for all students of APRU member universities by providing an immersive virtual student exchange experience through digital technologies and platforms and creating encounters with new ideas and students from around the world. If you wish to enroll in courses, you should fill out the application form（Application for VSE Academic Courses）.
Please be noted that the different deadlines are set for courses by each university and application after the deadline will be rejected.
Please note that this platform is organized by APRU VSE and is not situated as Waseda’s regular courses. Therefore, classes at Waseda University are given a priority. Please be aware that absences or tardiness in regular Waseda courses due to VSE coursework will not be permitted. This program is being implemented as a pilot program; it is not possible to transfer credits to Waseda University upon completion of the courses offered by each host university. Waseda students can participate in classes offered by other universities free of charge, so we encourage all of you to carefully consider your regular obligations at Waseda and participate if your schedule and workload allows. Similarly, if you decide to apply, please also make a plan to ensure that you are able to attend and participate in the VSE course from beginning to end.
