IST Studieninstitut GmbH

Through the blended learning approach in knowledge transfer, working professionals also have the opportunity to acquire practical expertise and academic degrees without being bound by time and location.

The master's and bachelor's distance learning programs, as well as the part-time university continuing education courses offered at the state-recognized IST-Hochschule, combine high academic quality with a strong practical orientation. The individual programs are characterized by a particularly high proportion of industry-specific content that is taught from the first semester onwards.

All university degree programs can be completed in full-time, part-time, or dual mode. The modern knowledge transfer with online lectures and tutorials, in addition to study materials and seminars, guarantees a high degree of flexibility, allowing companies, for example, to employ dual students in their operations for up to 32 hours per week throughout the year.

Students also benefit from the extensive experience and close collaboration with the industries. For over 30 years, IST has been offering career-oriented further education courses in state-approved distance learning with a specialization in the fields of tourism, gastronomy, hotel management, wellness, and spa.
