These are the admission requirements for the Bachelor's in Digital Health

In the Bachelor's distance learning programme in Digital Health at IU International University (IU), you can enrol if you provide us with your high school diploma (general higher education entrance qualification), your advanced technical college entrance qualification (Fachhochschulreife), or subject-specific higher education entrance qualification.

Alternatively, you can enrol without a high school diploma. Studying without a high school diploma at IU is possible under the following conditions:

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

If you choose the English-language option, you must also provide evidence of your English language skills. You can prove your English language skills, for example, through a TOEFL (minimum 80 points), IELTS (at least Level 6), a passed Duolingo English test (at least 105 points), a Cambridge certificate (at least grade B overall), or an equivalent proof. Alternatively, you can take an English course free of charge directly at IU International University.
