Is an online degree recognized?
Yes. The online format is widely accepted as a legitimate pathway to the same learning and outcomes you’d get in the classroom. At Tomorrow University, we ensure our programs meet the strict standards of higher education, while offering our learners different, often more flexible pathway to the same degrees offered in traditional university settings.
Can you provide me with a visa to study in Germany?
The German Immigration Office requires students to attend in-person classes in Germany to be eligible for a student visa. Since our programs are 100% online and do not require physical attendance, you are not eligible for a German student visa through Tomorrow University.
What is the best online university for entrepreneurship and business management?
We believe the “best” online university for entrepreneurship and management depends on what matters most to you. When choosing the right program, you’ll likely seek a combination of high-quality education, affordable tuition, flexible learning options, relevant and up-to-date content, a supportive community, and expert guidance. Most importantly, you’ll want opportunities to apply your skills to real-world challenges while pursuing your personal mission and career goals.

This accreditation affirms the academic excellence of our programs and underscores our dedication to delivering high-quality education and earning the trust of learners and the academic community.
I don't have the required B2 English certificate, is it possible to attain the B2 later on?
We require learners to possess a certain level of English proficiency in order to understand the study material and work in groups seamlessly. While we do not require official English certification, we assess your English level during the interview stage.
What title do I get after completing the program?
Your official title will be "Bachelor of Science" or "Bachelor of Arts", depending on your program.
What is the admissions interview like?

When do I have to commit to the program?

Yes, you can transfer your previous university credits to Tomorrow University. Tomorrow University offers a reduction of 30 Euros in tuition fees for each transferred ECTS credit.
As the maximum number of credits that can be recognized is half of the ECTS credits of your degree program at ToU, for the Bachelor’s you can transfer up to 90 ECTS.
To transfer your previous credits, you will need to follow our credit recognition process. The recognition of your previous credits should be done during the application process. This involves submitting relevant documents such as your transcript, module information or handbook, and an overview of your previous university’s evaluation system.
Once you apply for a Credit Transfer, our goal is to complete the initial check and inform you of the result within 5 working days. After that, the program director reviews your documents and decides on the transfer of credits within one week. You will be notified of the outcome in writing within 2 weeks. Depending on the case and the required documents, the recognition process may take longer.
The respective Program Director, together with the University Registration Team and the Examination Board, is responsible for the recognition and transfer of credits. If recognition and transfer are refused, you will be informed of the reasons in writing. The procedure is further governed by our regulations.
