Here are the admission requirements for the Bachelor in Entrepreneurship

You can enroll in the Bachelor's distance learning programme in Entrepreneurship at the IU International University (IU) if you can present us with your A-levels (general higher education entrance qualification), your technically-oriented college entrance qualification or a subject-specific higher education entrance qualification.

Alternatively, you can also enroll without A-levels. Studying without A-levels at IU is possible under the following conditions:

• You have successfully completed an advanced training, for example, training to become a certified business administrator.
• Or you have completed a vocational training, for example, training to become a business clerk. Following your training, you have worked in this profession full-time for at least 3 years. If your training does not match the Entrepreneurship distance learning programme thematically, you will first complete a trial study before being regularly enrolled.

If you opt for the English-language variant, you must also prove your English skills. For example, you can demonstrate your English skills through a TOEFL (minimum 80 points), IELTS (minimum Level 6), a passed Duolingo English test (minimum 105 points), a Cambridge certificate (minimum grade B) or an equivalent certificate. Alternatively, you can take a free English course directly at IU International University.
