iPad campaign
Every student who enrolls at our university of applied sciences for the first time in a bachelor’s or master’s programme or participates in a distance learning training programme and has their registered address in the European Union will receive an iPad (wifi compatible, bluetooth) to use free of charge for the duration of their studies. This does not include participants of FlexLearning, corporate trainings, special programmes and cooperations. Participants with no registered address in the European Union can receive an iPad if they indicate a registered address within the European Union. Additional costs for data transmission apply. The iPad will be delivered to you by our external provider shortly after the beginning of your studies. This is subject to Apple’s availability. A delayed delivery from Apple results in a delayed delivery to the student. The iPad remains the property of the external provider for the entire duration of the distance learning contract. If the student completes their distance learning contract as per agreement and completes their degree successfully, the iPad becomes the property of the student once the distance learning contract runs out.
If the distance learning contract ends prematurely (e.g. because one party cancels it or for other reasons), the student must return the iPad in functional condition within one week of the contract ending. The student bears the return costs of the carrier commissioned by the external provider. Further details can be found in the transfer of use agreement.
Cancellation
After your enrolment, you can test our online study programme for one month free of charge and without obligation. During this time, all IU offers and services are available to you. If the online study programme with us is not right for you, you can cancel it free of charge within this month. If you like your studies, you simply continue studying after the test phase. In this case, your first month is considered a regular study period and is subject to a fee. We only charge the first month after the end of the trial period.
You can then terminate the contract with six weeks' notice, for the first time at the end of the first six months. Later, you are free to cancel at any time with three months' notice (in each case to the end of a full month, in relation to the start of the contract). You just have to fill out this form: Cancel Contract
This is the IU: awarded, accredited and certified.
