This paper presents the outcomes of the international research that took place in 2022–2023 and included the social sciences and humanities students at the university in the Czech Republic, Poland and Slovakia. We focus on the phenomenon of virtual mobilities and its place and potential for students in Higher Education. Specifically, we use the data gathered via 163 online student questionnaires focused on psychosocial and intercultural aspects impacting the quality of education. We analyse the place of virtual mobilities and its potential to enhance student competencies while considering the factors which play a role in students’ self-evaluation. Our results demonstrate the crucial dependence between study conditions and mobility evaluation. It also shows a strong correlation between the character of the study and the enhancement of competencies. With our research, we intend to contribute to quality enhancement of virtual mobilities
