Entering the online course in business psychology at the Fresenius University is uncomplicated: With a general university entrance qualification (A-levels), the general subject-related university entrance qualification or the subject-specific university entrance qualification, you can enroll immediately and at any time.

Even entry without A-levels is possible, for example if you have passed a master craftsman's examination or a comparable advanced professional training examination, such as the state-certified technician or the state-certified business economist. If you can demonstrate a minimum of two years of completed job-specific vocational training and subsequent job-specific work experience of at least two years, you can also enter the course by taking a university entrance examination.

By the way: If you have already completed a course of study, you can save costs and time by having prior achievements recognized. In addition to academic achievements, credits can also be awarded for achievements obtained outside of a university.

Study Model and Programme Structure – Distance Learning without Exams

The Fresenius University of Applied Sciences is convinced that exams are not always suitable for assessing the actual competencies acquired by students. Accordingly, there are no written exams in the Bachelor's distance learning programme in Business Psychology! Your progress is tested, for example, through

• House and seminar papers,
• Online presentations,
• Online speeches,
• E-portfolios.

By doing so, you can avoid tiring trips to exams and have a fair chance of excellent performance evaluations that correspond to your actual knowledge and competency level.

The university also relies on a unique interdisciplinary coaching team consisting of professors, lecturers, and study coaches. Your personal study coach is your contact person for all matters concerning your studies. Whether by phone, email, or via the messenger in studynet – your study coach advises and actively supports you on your way to a successful study completion.

Whether at home or on the go, on your desktop, laptop, tablet, or smartphone – your campus is always with you. Our studynet learning platform is simultaneously an auditorium, seminar room, campus, and cafeteria. "Social Learning" is the keyword: a holistic learning experience that consistently relies on dialogue in addition to the use of a variety of different media formats.
