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

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

Alternatively, you can enroll even 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.

If your training is not thematically related to the distance learning programme in Health Education, you will first complete a trial study before being regularly enrolled.
