General Public: OPEN vhb

Online – open – free of charge – flexible – for everyone: Our open courses.

Do you want to acquire new knowledge regardless of time and place, and expand your horizon? Are you looking for further education free of charge in online courses from Bavarian universities? OPEN vhb is just the thing for you!

With OPEN vhb, Bavarian universities open themselves up to the public. Professors from our member universities have developed online courses especially for OPEN vhb. All OPEN vhb courses are available for anyone who is interested. In contrast to our CLASSIC vhb courses you neither have to be enrolled as a student at a university, nor do you need to have a university entrance qualification. The best thing about it is that OPEN vhb courses are offered for free.
