Why Transcultural and Interdisciplinary Care Exchange?

Join us for the Transcultural & Interdisciplinary Care Exchange program. Viaa Exchange is an English medium semester program focusing on cultural understanding and personal growth, while also learning about how to deal with cultural differences as a healthcare, social work or education professional.

Full semester with mandatory and elective courses

During the Transcultural & Interdisciplinary Care Exchange program, you follow a semester at Viaa with the focus on Transcultural & Interdisciplinary Care (12 ECTS) and Intercultural Explorations (12 ECTS).

Next to the mandatory courses, Viaa offers several elective courses (6 ECTS unless indicated otherwise):

*Availability of elective courses is dependent on a minimum of five students. Changes may occur and will always be discussed with the students. 

What you will learn

This track brings together students in social work, healthcare, and education to explore transcultural care for diverse youth. It emphasizes the importance of recognizing cultural diversity and adopting a holistic approach to create safe, supportive environments for young people’s development. The program encourages students to learn from one another, collaborate across disciplines, and deepen their understanding of the challenges young people face in their daily lives outside of professional settings.

Why Viaa?

Our Dutch and international students value Viaa for its small-scale and Christian profile, offering high-quality and practice-oriented education. Due to its size, you as a student will benefit from an individual learning approach, small learning groups and personal contacts. From day 1, you will build new connections with teachers and fellow students, for life.

Located in Zwolle, Viaa is within half-a-day travel distance by train from large European cities, like Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Berlin, Düsseldorf, Brussels, and Paris.
