Pauline

Health Psychology


If there's a will, there's also a way to take a few minutes of your time or to really go full throttle for three days. I'm also really grateful that IU is so flexible. A normal in-person study programme or a distance study programme, as offered by other universities, would be out of the question for me.

Sonja

Social Work


In addition to my job for Caritas, where I maintain the emergency operation of the station mission at Augsburg's main railway station together with my colleagues from the Diakonie, I am in my sixth semester of studies. I'm grateful for the high degree of flexibility in my studies, especially when it comes to online exams: I can even take my exam in the middle of the night when I feel ready.

Olga

Human Resource Management


An obvious advantage is, of course, the freedom to organise my time: I was able to work full-time, plan my emigration and a wedding abroad, and learn a new language - all while studying. Also, distance learning can be perfectly integrated into my everyday life with learning Italian, working and a bit of household chores.
