Vivaria offers transformational international experiences where you work on real projects, learn from social and business communities, and explore new cultures, all within a structured, supportive environment.
Our program is designed to build the capabilities employers look for.
It is a place to grow as a thinker, contributor, and individual, while gaining the skills and perspectives that shape your future.
The Vivaria Experience
Vivaria combines three essential components that shape a transformative international experience: deep learning, meaningful purpose, and continuous support.
Together, they ensure that every moment of your journey is intentional, enriching, and aligned with your long-term aspirations.
Vivaria blends four dimensions of growth: community engagement, enterprise experience, intellectual exploration, and personal discovery. You learn through real projects, cultural immersion, and structured reflection.
Choose one of three specialist tracks- Sustainability & Social Innovation, Finance & Economics or Brand & Marketing– to work on real-world projects that match your interests and skills.
We prepare you before arrival, guide you through a well-organised and safe programme, and support you afterwards through reflection and our alumni community – helping you focus fully on learning and exploration.
