Top rankings for the IST: the university and study institute are among the most popular distance learning universities and schools in Germany.
This is the result of the "FernstudiumCheck Report 2015/2016" of the evaluation portal FernstudiumCheck.de.
Almost 10,000 student reviews and ratings were evaluated. The pleasing result: with 14,154 points and 315 ratings, the IST University of Applied Sciences came in third place. The course content was rated particularly positively. The evaluation also included the recommendation rate that the students gave to the distance learning universities and schools. And here the IST University of Applied Sciences even took the top spot: 100 percent of students recommend the IST University of Applied Sciences to others.
The IST Study Institute also made it into the top ten of the most popular distance learning schools. With 14,111 points and an impressive 559 ratings, 97 percent of participants recommend the IST-Studieninstitut to others. Similar to the university, IST participants particularly value the course content. In the report's Germany-wide popularity ranking, the IST is even in fifth place.
Institute Director Dr. Hans E. Ulrich is delighted with the fantastic result: "The entire team would like to thank all students and participants for their trust. The quality and topicality of the study materials and the support of our students are particularly important to us. That's why we work every day to improve our offer and our service - so that satisfied students will continue to graduate with us in the future."
With the university blog introduced last year, for example, IST University offers its students and all users an interesting platform to receive practical learning tips or obtain further information on the degree programs or current industry news.
The report is based on 9,197 published testimonials from current and former distance learning students. In 2015, 475 distance learning providers were rated on the portal. Of these, 18 distance learning universities and 30 distance learning schools made it into the final rankings.
