My Approach

How I work, slide by slide

Who I am and how I guide you to the right degree, compact in one run.

Studying alongside your job, even without a high school diploma: personal academic advising for working professionals.
Why me: Lars Ritter, lecturer and examiner at several universities, four degrees of my own plus an ongoing doctorate, over 120 working professionals successfully guided, over 20 universities in my partner network.
The most expensive mistake is the wrong degree: it costs semesters, energy and motivation. I prevent wrong decisions, detours and unnecessary paperwork.
I find your academic path: Bachelor, Master, MBA, doctorate, CAS, DAS, MAS and certificates from over 200 programs and over 20 university partners.
Academic advising for people with real lives, ideal for working professionals, career changers, upskilling, Master or MBA and for people without a high school diploma.
Step 1, Understand: clarify goals, opportunities and pace. Afterwards you know which paths even make sense for you.
Step 2, Find: filter the few fitting paths out of over 200 programs, by goal, admission, schedule, budget and credit transfer.
Step 3, Get it done: count training, work experience and prior coursework toward your degree, up to 50 percent less study time, get there faster with lower costs.
Step 4, Support: paperwork, coordination with the university, enrollment and reassurance. You do not have to do this alone.
What you gain: clarity, time, certainty and less stress, at no extra cost when placed at partner universities.
What no extra cost means: for every successful placement I receive a commission from my university partners, your costs do not go up.
Get clarity in 30 minutes: in a free first call I clarify which path makes sense. Contact by email or WhatsApp.
