Hey everyone, I’m looking at doing a bachelor’s program through IU Fernstudium (https://www.iu-fernstudium.de/en/my-university/state-recognised/). It seems affordable, but I’m not sure how good it actually is. Has anyone studied there or know anything about it? Any thoughts or reviews would be really helpful. Thanks!
I’ve heard of IU Fernstudium! A friend of mine did their bachelor’s in business there. They said it was a pretty solid experience, especially for the price. Just make sure it’s recognized in your country if you plan to use the degree for work or further studies.
That’s good to know, thanks! Do you know if your friend had any issues getting their degree recognized afterward?
No issues, but they did some research beforehand to make sure the degree would be accepted in their country (Canada). I’d say it’s worth double-checking based on where you live.
I looked into it a while ago and it seems pretty legit. It’s accredited in Germany, which is usually a good sign. I’d just be cautious about making sure it fits your career plans.
Yeah, accreditation is important. I’ve seen some programs that look good but aren’t recognized everywhere, so make sure you check!
What do you mean by ‘affordable’? How much is it per year? I’m curious because I’ve been considering something like this too.
It’s around €3000 per year, which seems pretty reasonable compared to other universities I’ve looked at.
Wow, that’s not bad at all. Might have to look into this myself!
I think it depends on what you’re studying. Some degrees might be better than others. I’d recommend looking for reviews from students in the same program you’re interested in.
Good point! I’m thinking about doing a bachelor’s in IT. I’ll see if I can find some specific reviews.
I think IU Fernstudium is a good option if you’re self-disciplined. It’s all online, so you need to be on top of your work. If you’re someone who can stay motivated, it could be a great choice.
Yeah, online programs can be tough if you’re not used to managing your time well. But if you can handle it, it’s a flexible and affordable option.
