How flexible is the standard study time in the distance learning program Environmental Engineering

At IU International University, in the part-time distance learning program, you can choose one of 3 study models:

• In full-time studies, the standard study time is 6 semesters or 36 months. You can extend the standard study time by up to 2 semesters or 12 months at no additional cost. Full-time studies in Environmental Engineering are especially suitable for those who are not working or working only a few hours per week.
• In part-time studies I, the standard study time is 8 semesters or 48 months. You can extend the standard study time by up to 2 semesters or 12 months at no additional cost. Part-time studies I are suitable, for example, if you work part-time alongside your studies.
• In part-time studies II, the standard study time is 12 semesters or 72 months. You can extend the standard study time by up to 2 semesters or 12 months at no additional cost. Part-time studies II are particularly suitable if you are heavily involved in your profession alongside your distance learning program.

By the way, you can also take a semester break during your studies at no additional cost.

How does the online course at IU work?

A study program that adapts to your life: In the online course at IU, you learn flexibly and digitally whenever and wherever you want to learn.

In the distance learning program in Environmental Engineering at IU International University, there is no attendance requirement - you learn continuously from home, in the library of your choice, or wherever you can learn best.

You can take your modules and lectures whenever you want. This allows you to flexibly create your study plan and semester schedule.

Central to the IU distance learning program are your interactive study scripts. You will receive the scripts in print as well as digitally as PDFs and for tablets. Through the smart IU Learn app, you have access to the scripts for your Environmental Engineering studies as well as scripts from all other distance learning programs at IU.

Through myCampus, the online campus of IU, you also have access to additional materials, such as videos. You interact with your lecturers and fellow students, for example, in virtual live formats, such as interactive lectures.

And exams? You can take them as online exams if you prefer. You can take an online exam 24/7 once you feel sufficiently prepared for the material. Alternatively, you can take the exam at one of the numerous exam centers of IU throughout Germany.
