What do our partners say?

University of Seoul

Students who choose to study abroad are leaving their home for the first time and they are fascinated by the distinct cultural perspective. VIA University College is the right place where students can expect to experience new activities and interests that they may never have discovered before.Hyein Kim, Programme Coordinator for Outbound Students, University of Seoul, Republic of Korea

With VIA, we have confidence that our outbound exchange students are in good hands.Vanessa Naidoo, Global Experience Coordinator, Otago Polytechnic, New Zealand

Australian Catholic University

Australian Catholic University and VIA began collaborations in 2013. Since then we have developed a highly active and mutually rewarding partnership that supports student exchange, shared curriculum and joint delivery of academic programmes. In particular, our links with VIA have helped us build reciprocal learning abroad opportunities for students in our health science programmes, where professional requirements can make internationalisation highly challenging. In addition to these official activities, our partnership with VIA has also opened up valuable direct links between our academic and professional staff that have allowed us to exchange ideas and explore new ways of working together that simply wouldn’t be possible with other institutions.Kirk Doyle, Associate Director, Australian Catholic University, Australia
