1Enrolling in the MBA at IUS does not mean the student automatically enrolls in HWG LU.
2After expressing interest, the student goes through the application and review process by HWG LU. Besides the academic record, one of the key conditions is to have one year of professional activity (the year of professional activity during MBA studies at IUS is OK, as well as cumulative work or internship experiences).
3HWG LU will enable the attendance days/lectures required for this to be concentrated relatively short and organized in blocked courses (2 - 3 weeks so that the stay in Germany does not lead to unnecessary additional costs for the incoming students). HWG LU also offers remote options for most of the courses, including live webinars, recorded lectures, and hybrid modes. Due to the same reasons, the performance records/examination could occur either in Ludwigshafen or Sarajevo (optiona).
4For the Master's thesis, the support would be possible using modern media without requiring the students to travel to Ludwigshafen during this time, but they would have to be enrolled at the HWG LU.
