In IU distance learning, your lecture hall is always where you are – no matter whether you’re on your way to work or chilling at the beach with your family. You can even sit your exams online – 24/7 on 365 days a year – or on location, if you like.
Through our online campus and your personal AI learning assistant Syntea, innovative and interactive digital learning tools are available to you at any time. They allow for maximum flexibility – whether you’re studying alone or with others, with a script or digitally, day or night.
If you want, you can deepen your knowledge by talking to experienced lecturers in virtual classes – live or on demand. In addition, our online network allows you to connect with your fellow students as well as your study and career coaches.
You can try out your study programme for four weeks – no commitment. The fees for this period only apply if you decide to continue your studies with us. Simply register online for your desired programme.
No matter whether you’re a family person, working full time or always on the road: IU distance learning let you realise that dream of a degree. How? By letting you decide when, where and how you study.
No problem! IU lets you determine your own study load – without fixed lecture times or exam times.
You can still do it! Our flexible full- and part-time models allow you to schedule your courses according to your own needs.
