With each module enrollment at IU, you receive study materials as printed study booklets. All materials are, of course, also available digitally. The IU Interactive Books are innovative study 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 can access the IU Interactive Books through the practical IU Learn App.

Many modules also offer virtual classes, allowing you to interactively engage with your fellow students and professors.

Particularly practical and flexible is 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 construction preparation. Additionally, we operate around 40 exam centers in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, where you can also take your exams in the traditional on-site manner.
