Leonie truly made a difference for me during a challenging time. I was overwhelmed with worries and doubted my ability to complete the program. Her support came at just the right moment, and I’ll be forever grateful for her help. She has a remarkable gift for uplifting others. I can't express how much she changed my perspective. Thank you, Leonie, for restoring my hope and showing me that I can accomplish more than I thought possible. You are a blessing in my life!

The only thing I regret in my life is applying here. You are not considered a student until you have completed 50% of your studies, yet when it comes to money suddenly you are considered a student. They pressure you to pay even though you have cancelled everything and they threaten to send debt collectors after you even though you have not used the platform and are not even a student. I would not recommend this to anyone. Stay far away. All they see in you is money. And IU… don’t copy and paste your template text like “We’re sorry this happened to you,” blah blah blah. If you were actually sorry and took the previous feedback into account, you would have already made changes a long time ago.

Unsatisfactory Experience

I graduated in late 2024 and now feel ready to share my thoughts. I cannot recommend this institution. Teaching and administration quality are severely lacking. 1. Chaotic Start to Studies: The academic year began later than communicated, leading to unnecessary expenses. 2. Poor Communication: I was not informed about the status of student transport tickets, resulting in out-of-pocket costs. 3. Unacceptable Finance Department: They are unresponsive, and I’ve been trying to resolve an issue regarding €390 for over 1.5 years. 4. Concealed Financial Issues: Lack of clarity on exam and thesis timelines led to unnecessary costs. 5. Lack of Career Support: No meaningful guidance despite attending events. 6. Low Teaching Quality: The standards are alarmingly low compared to my previous education. I give two stars only for two exceptional lecturers. This institution is costly and fails to deliver on its promises.

Smooth Process

The process was quite easy and occasionally engaging. I have successfully earned my bachelor’s degree.

Rigid Policies & Lack of Support

Extremely disappointing experience. As an online MA student, I am frustrated with how the institution addresses crucial student issues. I mistakenly uploaded the wrong assignment file on Turnitin and reported it immediately, but the Exams Office insists on automated responses, forcing me to lose an exam attempt due to rigid policies. I've sent numerous emails and contacted lecturers without receiving adequate responses. It's disheartening to pay tuition and work hard only to be hindered by unfair administrative rules. This institution promotes flexibility for online learners, but my experience reflects the opposite: delayed responses, lack of accountability, and policies that disadvantage online students. I hope someone will address this fairly.

Disappointing Experience

This has been a deeply disappointing experience. I graduated in late 2024, and now I feel ready to share my thoughts. I cannot recommend this institution. The teaching and administrative quality are severely lacking, especially for international students. 1. Disorganized Start of Studies: The academic year began much later than announced. I arrived on the specified date, expecting orientation, but instead attended an unhelpful meeting and waited two weeks for classes to start, incurring unnecessary costs. 2. Poor Communication: I was informed that student transport tickets were canceled and would be restored, but I received no updates. I had to pay out of pocket due to lack of communication. 3. Unacceptable Finance Department: They do not respond to inquiries, and I've been trying to resolve an issue regarding €390 for over 1.5 years without success. 4. Hidden Financial Issues: There’s no clear guidance on exam and thesis timelines, leading to unnecessary expenses. 5. Lack of Career Support: Despite attending events, I received no meaningful assistance. 6. Low Teaching Quality: The academic standards are alarmingly low compared to my previous studies. I give two stars only for two outstanding lecturers. This institution is costly and fails to deliver on its promises.

A Much-Needed Support

I have been feeling down for days, but my meeting with the coach was a great relief. Her kind words have left a lasting impression on me. Thank you for your support.
