Activity Concept
VISE 2024 is designed with a hybrid concept, utilising the BRONE platform for lectures and case studies for practical sessions:
Hybrid Lectures: Local students attend lectures in class with a regular schedule, conducted in English, with each session recorded. International students participate in lectures online or through Zoom recordings. After each meeting, links to the lecture videos and PPT materials are shared via BRONE.
Practical Sessions: Local students have separate practical sessions with dedicated class schedules. International students engage in practical sessions through case studies tailored to the lecture content.
This event underscores FKH UB’s commitment to strengthening international networks in veterinary education, providing cross-cultural learning experiences, and equipping students with a global perspective through comprehensive English-language teaching methods.
With the successful implementation of VISE 2024, FKH UB aims to further enhance international collaboration and produce graduates who are globally competitive in the field of veterinary medicine.
