FernUniversität’s four faculties offer a wide range of study programmes from which you can choose internationally recognised degree programmes, leading to Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees. Special further education programmes are designed to promote your professional qualifications. Akademiestudien (academic further education with individual schedules) are available without restrictions on admission, providing individual further education “on demand”.
Unlike any other state-maintained university, the FernUniversität – owing to its working students - is able to transfer scientific know-how directly, and as quickly as possible, to practical application in the companies.

I only took 1 Semester and had to stop because of a new job. Thus i can only refer to and have to say the basics are very well communicated. Though the main contents I already knew about
Studying at the Fernuni Hagen is especially suitable for people who want to get a degree alongside their job. The communication and organization is good and I felt very comfortable during the short time i was enrolled at the university. You can plan your weekly schedule very flexibly and you get good material to study at home. Overall I had a good study experience.
