myStudies Study model

Important questions at a glance

What distinguishes myStudies at IU from other study models?

myStudies offers maximum flexibility for your daily study routine. Practice-oriented lectures take place 2-3 days a week during the daytime, either on campus or on the virtual campus around the world. You can access innovative learning materials such as interactive scripts, videos or presentations at any time.

You will also always have a personal contact person at your disposal during your studies.

What is the difference between the virtual campus and on-campus studies?

The only difference between studying on a virtual campus and on-campus studies is that the theory is imparted virtually. In this case, the lectures do not take place at the campus location, but live and interactively via video conferencing. Your study schedule and the close supervision by lecturers and study advisors will remain the same. The same applies to the general conditions (e.g. state recognition, admission requirements, etc.).

How can I imagine the virtual campus?

In terms of the process, you can imagine studying at the virtual campus in exactly the same way as studying on the campus itself. The only difference is that our lecturers will teach you the theory completely virtually. They will teach you in real-time via video conferences, which you can follow comfortably on your screen. You will also work on real case studies with your fellow students in an interactive way, and you can ask direct questions to your lecturer at any time.

Is it mandatory to participate in the lectures and courses?

There is no obligation to attend the lectures and courses. However, they help you to deepen your knowledge by working on real case studies under the guidance of your lecturer. In addition, you have the opportunity to work regularly with your fellow students in the group and to build a network with your fellow students.

Will I have time to work alongside the studies?

Since the classroom lectures take place 2-3 days a week, there will be enough time to work alongside your studies. A position as a working student usually offers the opportunity to flexibly organise your own working days and allocate the hours according to your schedule.
