Here are the admission requirements for the Bachelor's in Facility Management

You can enroll in the Bachelor's distance learning programme in Facility Management at the IU International University (IU) if you provide us with your A-levels (general higher education entrance qualification), your specialized A-levels (technical 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 course, for example, a training course to become a state-certified business economist.
• Or you have completed an apprenticeship, for example, as an office clerk. After completing your apprenticeship, you have worked full-time in this profession for at least 3 years. If your apprenticeship does not match the thematic focus of the Facility Management distance learning programme, you will first complete a trial study before being regularly enrolled.

In addition, you must demonstrate your English proficiency, for example, with TOEFL (at least 80 points), IELTS (at least Level 6), Duolingo English Test (at least 95 points), or a Cambridge Certificate. Alternatively, you can take a free English course directly at IU International University.
