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.
WE ARE AS FLEXIBLE AS YOU ARE
START AT ANY TIME
Why wait until the semester starts? You don't have to wait with us, because in our part-time degree programmes you start exactly when you are ready. You can start your studies any day. In other words, you are not tied to fixed semester timetables and you can stay as flexible as possible at work or in your private life.
TAKE COURSES ONLINE
Are you running out of time because you are moving or planning to stay abroad for a while? No problem! With us, you can switch to the virtual campus every semester or take individual courses and exams online at any time. Thanks to our rolling course system, you also have the option of starting a course any time that will perfectly fit into your study schedule.
TAKE EXAMS 24/7
Early bird or night owl? It doesn't matter, because you should also remain flexible when it comes to exams. Take exams directly on campus on a specific date or online at any time. With the 24/7 offer, you decide for yourself when and where you are ready for an exam, whether late in the evening or abroad.
FREE EXTENSION
In life, things often turn out differently than you think. You cannot always plan everything perfectly, and that includes your studies. That is why we offer you the opportunity to extend your studies with us for up to 12 months – free of charge.
STUDY WITHOUT A-LEVELS
In the part-time studies at IU International University, you have the opportunity to study without A-levels. A completed apprenticeship with subsequent work experience or an aptitude test also qualifies you to start your studies.
