How to proceed
How to get the most out of the checklists
Three steps, and you will know more about studying alongside your job than most people before enrolment.
Print it or fill it in digitally
Each PDF takes 10 to 15 minutes to complete. Print it or work directly on screen, both work. What matters is honest answers: talk a program into fitting your life and you will notice at the most expensive moment, after enrolment.
Write down your result
Each checklist ends with a concrete result: your most likely admission route, your realistic out-of-pocket total or the list of prior learning you can have credited. These results are the basis for every good study decision.
Have your result assessed
Bring your completed PDF to the free initial consultation and I check your results against the real admission and credit transfer practice of universities. The consultation process shows what happens next. And if you prefer to keep learning at your own pace first: the free Studienflüsterer Academy offers the complete distance learning course, in German.
