Your distance learning programme in Berlin - study in the capital city

Berlin has a lot to offer. Famous and an absolute highlight is the Brandenburg Gate, which has stood in its place since 1791 and served as one of many city gates. Today it is a landmark and symbol of the reunification of Germany. The Reichstag is also high on the sightseeing list. The tallest building is the TV Tower, which is located directly on Alexanderplatz. On "Alex", the common name for Germany's largest square, you will find numerous shops, restaurants and cafés. Here, not only guests of the city enjoy typical specialities such as Currywurst, Falschen Hasen, Hoppel-Poppel, Berliner Luft or Berliner Pfannkuchen.

With a distance learning programme in Berlin, you have the opportunity to be part of the colourful hustle and bustle every day and to pursue your career at your own pace, away from the hustle and bustle. In addition to the hotspots, the numerous parks and gardens are ideal for an open-air office. The botanical garden, for example, is one of the most species-rich botanical gardens in the world. Also popular is the zoo between the Brandenburg Gate and the zoo, which offers plenty of space for learning with its spacious meadows and great nature and yet is located right in the heart of Berlin. Monbijoupark is also located in the middle of the city. Here you can take a look at numerous sights during your study breaks or do some sport on the fitness area. With a distance learning programme at ISM, you can combine your studies and quality of life in Berlin at your own pace. We accompany your studies as an innovative academic partner throughout the entire time.

Experience with ISM

In distance learning, you don't have to learn alone. Our student Hannah says: "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."

Experience with ISM

Our student Marcel 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 (examples 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."

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," says Leon about his experience at ISM.

Whether you study abroad or from home: In distance learning at ISM, you can decide for yourself when and from where you study. You don't have to be present on campus for a single exam or event - something our students also praise: "You really are 100% flexible and 100% online and can put together your own individual study plan. You can even take your exams online - cool, isn't it?" says Fabio about our distance learning program.

Experience with ISM

Study digitally: When exceptional situations require special measures. The Corona pandemic (2020) presented society worldwide with largely unknown challenges - for some universities, this probably included teaching and learning at a distance. The ISM rather records it as an involuntary trial run in the matter of 'Home-Study', with the following conclusion: "The digital teaching runs technically and organizationally flawless at the ISM. The knowledge transfer works great and the exchange with the lecturers and fellow students doesn't come up short either."

Experience with ISM

Surprisingly interactive: digital teaching with lively exchange Study 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."

Experience with ISM

Karriere und Familie sollten sich heute nicht mehr ausschließen. Die digitalen Möglichkeiten bieten das Potenzial neben dem Familien- und Berufsalltag flexibel und erfolgreich zu studieren. Uns von der ISM ist es ein großes Anliegen, dass Bildung in jeder Situation möglich ist, wie es folgendes Beispiel zeigt: „Als berufstätige Mutter von drei Kindern kann ich die Möglichkeiten, die ein Fernstudium bietet, nicht genug loben. Eine E-Mail vom Spielplatz verschicken, aus der Ferne studieren und trotzdem Geld verdienen und auch noch mit den Kindern Fußball spielen – die Qualität der ISM ist die Flexibilität, die ein Fernstudium bietet – ein tolles Angebot.“
