Fernstudium B.A. Soziale Arbeit
Ich bin mit meinem Fernstudium Soziale Arbeit an der IU sehr zufrieden. Besonders gut gefällt mir die hohe Flexibilität, da sich das Studium gut an den eigenen Alltag und berufliche sowie private Verpflichtungen anpassen lässt. Die Studieninhalte sind interessant und praxisnah aufgebaut und die verschiedenen Lernmöglichkeiten helfen dabei, sich die Inhalte individuell zu erarbeiten. Insgesamt bietet mir das Studium genau die Flexibilität, die ich mir von einem Fernstudium gewünscht habe.

Super spannendes Studium
Es fällt wahnsinnig leicht, an Inhalte zu kommen und diese zu lernen. Alles ist so verständlich aufbereitet, es gibt immer ein Skript, dessen Inhalte zuverlässig zu Prüfungen kommen. Zudem kann man Podcasts/Videos und zusätzliches Material ansehen sowie in Austausch mit anderen treten. Gibt es ein Problem, erreicht man immer sofort jemanden im Sekretariat oder via Chat. Es macht großen Spaß und fällt mir sehr leicht, auf diese Weise zu studieren.

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.
