FAQ

To apply for a visa for study purposes, students from third countries must, among other things, submit proof of funding to the German embassy/consulate. This proof should clearly show that you have sufficient funds for at least one year. Currently, an amount of 861 euros is estimated here for monthly needs. Proof of funds can be, for example

  • Statement of the parents' income and financial circumstances or a commitment from a third person* (if prepared in the national language, please include an official German translation).
  • Payment of a security deposit into a blocked account at a bank in Germany
  • Deposit of a bank guarantee at a bank in the Federal Republic of Germany

The proof of financing must then be updated in Germany each time the visa is extended. It is important to note that the "term" of the financial guarantee must always be one year.

The MITy study programme differs from identified competitor programmes primarily in the interdisciplinary combination of management, business information systems and applied informatics as well as the double degree component. Furthermore, MITy offers a particularly high degree of flexibility and adaptability for students due to an extensive portfolio of elective modules and the free choice of partner universities among the six international universities. As a further distinguishing feature, a technical novelty, the decision support system for automated module selection, accompanies the students during their studies and guarantees a high level of service. Modules are enriched with blended learning elements and web-based training. It is also the only degree programme that offers cooperation with partner universities in the Central Asian and Caucasian region in the field of management and computer science  at lower study fees.

On the basis of the professional qualifications, a wide range of potential occupational fields arise. In an increasingly global and digitised world, the degree programme enables graduates to work in the fields of management and Information Technology as well as realted sectors. Examples of occupational fields include employment in middle and upper management, especially the management of IT projects or the management of digital business models, regional and international companies, (IT) project management, (IT) strategy development, start-up foundation, software engineering and business intelligence/analytics.
