IST University of Applied Sciences

[EduCativ]

The IST University of Applied Sciences is state-approved by the Ministry of Innovation, Science, and Research of North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. The equivalency of IST and State University degrees is, therefore, guaranteed. The International Agency accredits bachelor and MBA programs for Quality Assurance in Higher Education (FIBAA). According to the European Credit and Accumulation Transfer System (ECTS), academic achievements are internationally comparable and recognized by awarding credit points.
The IST University of Applied Sciences offers management degree programs in sports business, fitness & health, tourism & hospitality, communication & management. The courses are characterized by both high scientific quality and strong practical orientation.
The IST University of Applied Sciences benefits from cooperating with the IST-Studieninstitut (study institute), which offers full and part-time qualification possibilities for over 25 years. From the beginning, the focus of the IST study institute was on state-recognized distance learning. Constantly evolving, this learning system is used by IST University as well. Nowadays, online-lectures, webinars, and other digital education materials enable students to study whenever they want. All lectures are produced in our video-studio, and study materials are constantly revised. Because of the innovative learning system, high-quality education materials, and the focus on specific business areas, students' number is continually growing.
Companies are acting more and more international. Germany is already an export world champion, and many companies are world market leaders in their field. For the young generation, this represents a daily and increasingly important challenge. At the IST University of Management, we see internationalization as an opportunity. It is part of our education policy, and we, therefore, support our students, staff, and professors in the expansion of their international experience.
We want to adjust teaching and research to the constantly and dynamically changing conditions of internationalization. For this reason, the university is taking part in the Erasmus+ program and has several university partners all over the world. We are always interested in new partnerships.
We promote our students' language skills through special online language courses and sector-specific modules in English, and we consistently strive to enable our students and staff to expand their international experience.
Students are already able to study at IST from all over the world. Students abroad have digital access to their whole educational materials and can also write their exams at Goethe Institutes in 98 countries.
Our 'International Office' provides administrative support and coordinates the internal posts. The 'International Office' is also the first port of call for advising and supporting the students, teachers, and staff in international matters. Additionally, professors assist the Steering Committee in the planning, preparation, and implementation of international activities.
