Dare to participate!

The virtual modality considers the possibility of choosing one or two courses at a university abroad for a semester and at the same time taking courses at Udep. As we are partner universities, it is not considered an additional payment, that is, you continue paying for all the courses at Udep. During this period you will be enrolled at Udep and at the foreign university (each with its own academic calendar), keep in mind that the courses you choose will have a different start date than the Udep calendar.
