IUBH - Another low cost European Grad option

[posabsolute]

Hi guys,

So there is this thread on the sister forum about IUBH in Germany which offers bachelor and master degrees, it's somewhat low cost (5, 6k?), it offers typical, MBA, Management, CS degrees. The format is interesting, almost competency-based, study and request the exam, I asked more info on the programs and will provide more info on this thread.

First stop, if you are interested go read the thread it provides a very good background to get started.

So the other good thing, I was able to find them on WES Canada free tool to verify your degree (don't take this as 100% proof), it comes out that their MA equal Canadian MA.

Hi
I tried to check WES Canada but i couldn't locate it. Which state did you put it for search? Also degree cost is between 12 000 -15 000 . I didnt see anything close to 5-6 k. Can you clarify ?

Ah yes, this school... they were having a sale a few months ago, pretty much gave out scholarships to eligible applicants and the fees were 85% off. Nowadays, their scholarships are just 66% of the current fee. If for some reason you're really interested in their programs, you can try emailing them to see if they can grant you or honor those 85% off discounts, just tell them you missed it by a month due to Coronavirus!

You need to use the full german name of the University:
Internationale Fachhochschule Bad Honnef - Bonn.

As for the price, you will know the "real" price after applying, they still do 85% and 66%. You have to take into account that this is a for-profit university, much like here, your experience will vary with those. As far as I know, the 85% is still available, which puts you around 2-3k for a master.

Can you just earn credits hear and transfer them to one of the big 3?

You'll need a foreign degree evaluation to determine that. TESU accepts evaluations, but the extent of how many credits they will accept after that is something only they can answer.

I see flat rates for on-campus, and monthly payment plans for online.

They also have different ECTS levels for the same degrees. That's interesting, and I wonder if the higher ECTS options have to do with avoiding having their degrees evaluated lower than a Masters in some places like the United States where, for instance, one 60 ECTS Masters degree (ENEB) was evaluated as such recently.

That robotics degree looks interesting. That may be come a side project later.

I looked into their accreditation situation. Their accreditation and rankings page at https://www.iubh-online.org/why-iubh/acc...filiation/ shows the AACSB logo. Seems great, right? Well, cross checking the AACSB list of accredited programs in Germany at https://www.aacsb.edu/accreditation/accr...ry=Germany shows that IUBH is not listed. The disclaimer on that page stating "AACSB International membership does not denote AACSB accreditation and should not be interpreted as achievement of accreditation" gives a hint. Looking more closely at the IUBH page, this is exactly what is going on. They have a membership, but not actual accreditation. How many people are going to miss this distinction? In my opinion, this a bit of a scummy tactic. If something isn't an accreditation, it shouldn't be on your accreditation page!

True. Accreditation is accreditation.  No membership,  recognition and so on replace it

Got this from IUBH when I inquired about accreditation:
