Discount campaign
Discount campaign
The discount is only available for first-time enrolments in our bachelor’s and master’s online study programmes until October 31st and only to non-students of online study programmes of IU International University of Applied Sciences. The studies must be commenced by30.04.2025 at the latest.
With this promotion, you get a discount of 1.444€ at enrolment and a free iPad if selected in the online application. As part of the promotion, IU Internationale Hochschule GmbH will refund a further 1.444€, if the study programme is successfully completed within the chosen standard study period (“cashback reward”). The standard study period for the selected study programme is determined by the information on page 1 of the study contract or, in case the start of your studies is postponed, by the contents of the corresponding supplementary agreement. The date of the last examination required and passed according to the applicable study and examination regulations is decisive for the successful completion of the studies.
If the standard study period is reduced due to the recognition of previous achievements and qualifications within the framework of the study and examination regulations or changes due to a change in time model during the course of study, the amended standard study period established in the supplementary agreement is decisive. The cashback reward is forfeited if the student switches to another study format during their studies or if they do not complete their degree within the standard study period. To apply for the refund, you must contact finanzen-fernstudium@iu.org within one month after graduation. If you apply for the refund at a later date, it will not be paid out to you.
The first month of your studies is free of charge if you decide against studying with us during this trial phase. If you continue with your online study programme, the first month counts as a regular month and will be charged as such.
