Do you want to achieve more, change yourself and are you ready to go the extra mile? We would love to support you in this process - with a part-time study programme that is flexible, individual and perfectly tailored to your needs.
- CLOSE TO PRACTICE
Under the guidance of experienced lecturers with practical experience, you will work on real case studies and develop skills that are in demand in everyday working life.

INTERACTIVE & PRACTICAL: YOUR TEACHING EVENTS
In our face-to-face courses on campus, you have the opportunity to clarify open questions with teachers, to discuss them and to exchange ideas in the group. Your courses take place on two fixed evenings per week. There is no IU location in your area or you want to learn as flexibly as possible in the meantime? Then our virtual campus is just the right thing for you: because here you can also optionally take part in virtual live formats and are always connected to your lecturers and fellow students.
FREE STUDY COACHING
We want to give you the best possible support on your way through your studies – from the start of your studies to successful completion. That's why our study coaches are happy to help you if you need it: They will help you with smart tools and tricks to perfectly manage your everyday study life alongside your job, family or other to-dos. You can get individual advice - according to your needs and completely free of charge.
As an IU student, you also have unlimited access to over 14,000 courses and 1,800 video tutorials with LinkedIn Learning.
