Other's experiences can help you

Distance learning university experiences that have already been made can give you the best impressions of distance learning, our students share their personal success stories with you on this page. The distance learning experience stories at ISM should help you to find out for yourself whether distance learning is right for you and whether we are the right partner at your side. Use the extensive distance learning university experiences as inspiration and take the chance to get a first impression of student life at ISM in advance.

If you have specific questions about distance learning at the ISM university, we would be happy to provide you with comprehensive advice in a personal conversation.

"I especially like the fact that I can immediately check what I have learned through small knowledge checks, with direct feedback. That way you know exactly where you stand and what needs to be deepened. And although every student is spread out somewhere in the world, there is still a direct exchange with each other, you help each other and can have discussions with professors at monthly meetings, just like in a normal lecture." - Hannah Pohl, Bachelor student in ISM Distance Learning

Our student Marcel Gebert says he was looking for a "study programme that is practically oriented towards top international companies [and makes it possible] to work on the side to gain relevant experience. This is also what Marcel particularly likes about the ISM distance learning programme so far:

"Practical relevance (case studies at top companies), free time management for work, holidays, internships, research in shops and companies, studying from home as well as the lively contact with other students despite distance learning." - Marcel Gebert, Bachelor student in ISM Distance Learning

With an Internet connection and a PC or laptop, you are already fully equipped for the ISM distance learning program. Our multimedia learning materials are completely new with up-to-date examples and many illustrations or videos. Our students also like this:

"I was looking for a university that is not only able to provide high quality content, but also to meet the requirements of a modern distance learning program. ISM is a prime example of combining a modern distance learning program with high quality content." - Leon Böhning, Bachelor student in ISM Distance Learning

Surprisingly interactive: digital teaching with lively exchange study time models of the future may be digital, but they still have to meet participants' demand for interaction and communication. This is just as true for distance learning courses as it is for digital elements in face-to-face study.

At ISM, our online lectures focus on interactive learning and group work - not a contradiction in terms, as our students confirm:

"At first, I thought that online lectures would only be frontal and in lectures, but that has not been confirmed. Digital teaching at ISM is very interactive, always includes group work phases and offers completely new formats." - Mareike Tegethoff, Master student
