Here’s the mistake many prospective students make:

They see the tuition fee…

They assume it’s too expensive…

And they stop looking.

Don’t do that before checking the funding options.

IU’s current distance-learning tuition starts from €259 per month for Bachelor’s programmes and €329 per month for Master’s programmes, depending on the programme and study model.

But eligible students may have access to scholarships, funding and other financial-support options that can reduce the cost.

💰 One IU Scholarship = 50% Off Tuition

Every month, IU selects four applicants for a 50% IU Scholarship.

The scholarship covers half of the tuition fees.

That’s potentially a major difference in the total cost of your degree.

And if you don’t qualify for that particular scholarship, IU has other funding opportunities worth exploring.

🌍 You Don’t Necessarily Have to Relocate

One of the biggest advantages of IU’s distance-learning model is that you can pursue your degree online.

IU’s distance-learning programmes include Bachelor’s, Master’s and MBA qualifications, with online study available from anywhere and flexible full-time or part-time models.

So instead of putting your career on hold to go abroad…

You may be able to study while continuing your life where you are.

And if you are eligible for a scholarship or funding opportunity, you could potentially reduce the financial burden at the same time.

⚠️ BUT HERE’S THE IMPORTANT PART

A scholarship is not automatic.

The number of scholarships is limited, eligibility requirements apply, and IU makes the final decision on scholarship applications.

For the current IU Scholarship, applicants are required to submit supporting materials including a CV, university entrance qualification and motivation letter, among other requirements. IU says applications submitted by the end of the month are considered for that month’s selection, with a decision approximately two weeks after the end of the application month.

So don’t wait until you’ve already enrolled before investigating your options.

Check the scholarship first.

Then determine the programme.

Then take the next step toward your degree.

🎓 Your Degree Could Be Closer Than You Think.

You may have assumed studying at a European university requires:

❌ Leaving Nigeria immediately
❌ Giving up your job
❌ Paying the entire tuition yourself
❌ Spending years searching for a suitable programme

But IU offers flexible online study, hundreds of Bachelor’s and Master’s options, and multiple scholarship and funding opportunities.

The question isn’t whether IU has a programme for you.

The better question is:

Could you qualify for one of the funding opportunities?
