Sehr empfehlenswert
Insgesamt ein super Studium, ich bin sehr zufrieden und fühle mich rundum gut betreut und aufgehoben. Es wird sich viel Mühe um die Zufriedenheit der Studenten gegeben und auch die Dozenten sind super nett und engagiert. Man kann jederzeit Fragen klären und hat immer einen Ansprechpartner der einem weiterhilft. Ich würde jederzeit wieder an der IU studieren und kann es nur weiterempfehlen!

Flexibilität im Fernstudium neben dem Beruf
Ich habe bisher sehr gute Erfahrungen im Fernstudium ‚Angewandte Psychologie‘ gemacht. Besonders gut gefällt mir die Flexibilität bei der IU, weil ich neben dem Studium zu 100 % arbeite. Ich kann selbst entscheiden, wann und wie viel ich lerne. Sehr zufrieden bin ich auch damit, dass ich keinen Druck habe, wann ich mit dem Studium fertig sein muss, und dass ich kostenlos verlängern kann. Dadurch kann ich das Studium besser mit meinem Berufsleben vereinbaren.

Bin ein großer Fan der IU
Ich bin ein großer Fan der IU und habe dort in letzter Zeit unglaublich viel gelernt. Die Möglichkeiten, die Studierenden geboten werden – insbesondere im Fernstudium – sind sehr vielfältig und flexibel. Dadurch macht das Lernen nicht nur Spaß, sondern lässt sich auch hervorragend in den Alltag integrieren. [...] Für mich gehört die IU zu den besten Anbietern für Fernstudiengänge in Deutschland. Ich kann sie aus voller Überzeugung jederzeit weiterempfehlen.
