These are the admission requirements for the Bachelor's in Management

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

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

• You have successfully completed an advanced training qualification, such as training to become a state-certified business economist.
• Or you have completed a vocational training, such as training to become an office clerk. After completing your training, you have worked in this profession full-time for at least 3 years. If your training does not match the Management distance learning programme thematically, you will complete a trial study first before being regularly enrolled.

In addition, you must demonstrate your English language skills, for example through TOEFL (at least 80 points), IELTS (at least level 6), Duolingo English Test (at least 95 points), or Cambridge Certificate. Alternatively, you can complete an English course free of charge directly at IU International University.
