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 992 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
  • proof of a recognized scholarship, if applicable.

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. 

*Please check the current amount on the official German embassy/consulate website before applying, as it may change.

The MITy study program differs from identified competitor programs primarily in its interdisciplinary combination of management, business information systems, and applied informatics, as well as its 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 program that offers cooperation with partner universities in the Central Asian and Caucasian regions in the fields of management and computer science at lower study fees.

Based on professional qualifications, a wide range of potential occupational fields arises. In an increasingly global and digitized world, the degree program enables graduates to work in management and Information Technology, as well as related 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.
