Your university transfer to IU
You have already studied at a University and would like to transfer to IU? That's possible! The procedure is adapted to your individual situation and wishes. Here you will find all the important information about your change of University.
Reasons for changing university
Sometimes plans change. This is also reflected in your learning needs. There are many different reasons for changing Universities. Have you moved to a foreign city and are homesick? Or do you have a new centre of life in another city (e.g. due to a partner and family)?
In addition to these personal reasons, there are also financial reasons that can speak in favour of starting at another University. These include lower living costs or better job prospects. Or you simply want to study with a different focus and in a different study format. No matter what your reason is, you can follow your study path at IU.

How does a change of university work?
In principle, you can complete your Bachelor's or Master's degree at IU after changing universities. For example, if you have dropped out of your studies at another University or college. This is also possible if you were exmatriculated there.
If you meet all the requirements, you can easily select the degree programme you want in your online application. It is best to contact our student advisory service as early as possible. We will advise you on your personal situation and help you get everything started.
Recognition of your previous achievements
Another advantage of IU: your previous experience counts! You can have courses and ETCS credits you have already completed credited to you. This not only shortens your studies, but also saves you money: 30 € per recognised ECTS credit! Our colleagues from the student advisory service will be happy to help you find out what you can have credited to you and answer any questions you may have.
Learn moreYour study financing
How you finance your studies is an important question. That's why you should also think about your expenses when you change universities: how much will the move cost? The new flat? Do you have other financial obligations?
As a rule, you can continue to obtain private student loans without any problems. Do you receive support from the state? Even with state loans such as BAföG, a change of University has no effect. You just have to make sure that you graduate within the standard period of study. If you have any questions about your individual financing, our student advisory service will help you.
