The Distance and Independent Studies Center is an internationally oriented institute that offers a total of four English-language distance learning programmes in addition to the German Master's and Certificate programmes as well as Certificate courses.

The format of the distance learning programme allows students to study with us while working and location-independent from anywhere in the world. On this world map, we coloured the countries that our distance learning students indicated as their place of residence at the time of the survey (as of October 2020). Previous years are also shown here.
