These are the admission requirements for the Bachelor Engineering

You can enroll in the Bachelor's distance learning program in Engineering 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 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, 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 your training, you have worked full-time in this profession for at least 3 years. If your training does not match the Engineering distance learning program thematically, you will first complete a trial study before being regularly enrolled.

In addition, you must demonstrate your English language skills. For example, you can prove your English language skills through a TOEFL (minimum of 80 points), IELTS (minimum Level 6), a passed Duolingo English test (minimum of 105 points), a Cambridge certificate (minimum grade B), or an equivalent qualification. Alternatively, you can take a free English course directly at IU International University.

Study Contents & Modules: This is the Study Schedule in the Bachelor of Engineering

The bachelor's programme at IU International University is modular. A module usually consists of 5 credit points (ECTS) and concludes with an examination, such as an exam or a written assignment. This way, you complete your bachelor's degree step by step - and even largely determine when you want to complete which module.

In full-time studies, you can structure your study plan as follows, for example:

• 1st Semester: Engineering: Branches, Methods, Applications, Trends, Introduction to Academic Work, Mathematics: Linear Algebra, Fundamentals of Physics, Introduction to the Internet of Things, Introduction to Computer Science
• 2nd Semester: Fundamentals of Chemistry, Production Engineering, Mechanics - Statics, Automation Technology, Mathematics: Analysis, Signals and Systems
• 3rd Semester: Control Systems Engineering, Materials Science for Engineers, Sensor Technology, Electrical Engineering, Mechanics - Kinematics and Dynamics, Technical Mechanics: Elastostatics
• 4th Semester: Introduction to Electromagnetics, Fundamentals of Systems Simulation, Introduction to Data Protection and Cyber Security, Statistics - Probability and Descriptive Statistics, Introduction to Programming with Python, Project: Simulation of Systems
• 5th Semester: Fundamentals of Data-Driven Engineering, Seminar: The Big Data Society, Electrical Machines and Energy Technology, Project: Control Unit Design for a Mechanical System, Electives A
• 6th Semester: Electives B, Electives C, Bachelor Thesis

Study Concept: This is How the Part-time Study in Engineering Works at IU

You can tailor the online engineering programme at IU International University to fit your life and daily routine as best as it suits you. For example, you can choose from 3 study models: In the full-time programme, you need a total of 6 semesters, i.e., 36 months, to complete your bachelor's degree. In part-time programme I, you study for 8 semesters until completion. Or you can opt for part-time programme II and take 12 semesters to complete your bachelor's.

With every module registration at IU, you receive study materials as printed study booklets. All materials are, of course, also available digitally. The IU Interactive Books are innovative learning scripts enriched with video clips and quiz questions at the end of a lesson. Depending on the module, the study materials are complemented by podcasts, live tutorials, and video content in the form of so-called Shortcasts. You access the IU Interactive Books through the practical IU Learn app.

Moreover, many modules offer virtual teaching sessions, allowing you to interact interactively with your fellow students and lecturers.

Especially practical and flexible: The option to take module exams in the form of online exams. You can take an online exam 7 days a week, 24 hours a day - whenever you feel optimally prepared for the exam, for example, in building construction. Additionally, we operate around 40 exam centres in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, where you can also take your exams in the traditional way.
