- 3 flexible time models from full-time to part-time for every life situation
- interesting specializations, such as product approval in medical technology or digital entrepreneurship
- innovative learning concept with IU Learn app and digital teaching sessions
These are the admission requirements for the Bachelor's in Business Engineering - Medical Technology
In the Bachelor's distance learning programme in Business Engineering - Medical Technology at IU International University (IU), you can enrol if you provide us with your A levels (general qualification for university entrance), your university entrance qualification (Fachabitur), or subject-specific higher education entrance qualification.
Alternatively, you can also enrol 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 qualified business administrator.
- Or you have completed a vocational training, for example, training as an office clerk. Following your training, you have worked in this profession full-time for at least 3 years. If your training does not match the Business Engineering - Medical Technology distance learning programme thematically, you will first complete a trial course before being regularly enrolled.
If you opt for the English-language variant, you must also prove your English language skills. You can demonstrate your English language skills, for example, through a TOEFL (at least 80 points), IELTS (at least level 6), passing a Duolingo English test (at least 105 points), a Cambridge certificate (at least grade B overall), or an equivalent qualification. Alternatively, you can complete an English course free of charge directly at IU International University.
