The Allensbach University again ranks among Germany's „Top Distance Learning Universities“ on FernstudiumCheck.de.

Colleges and universities place great importance on high quality and reputation, as these reflect their performance and how they are perceived by students. The state-accredited Allensbach University, which regularly receives awards for its performance, has now been honored—in addition to two other awards received at the beginning of the year—at the „Distance Learning Check Award 2026“ the award „Top Distance University“, which the rating portal FernstudiumCheck.de awards to the most popular distance learning institutes every January. To determine the best providers from the perspective of students and course participants, over 12,000 ratings were analyzed again. To be listed in the FernstudiumCheck Award ranking, a distance learning university must receive a minimum number of ratings and achieve a minimum star rating. In addition, the institutes require a recommendation rate of at least 90 percent.

The results speak for themselves: With 4.46 out of 5 stars and a 100 percent recommendation rate Allensbach University of Applied Sciences is once again among the most popular distance learning universities in Germany in 2026. „We are very pleased about this award, which continues a whole series of awards and positive rankings in the distance learning sector for our university. That we belong to the best distance learning universities in Germany is a great honor for us. It shows us that our concept, consistently focused on quality, innovation, and practical relevance, is bearing fruit and that we are meeting the needs of students in academic education and continuing education, especially with our focus on fully digitized, part-time studies,“ says Timo Keppler, Chancellor of the university, which offers various part-time Bachelor's and Master's programs in the field of business administration.

The comprehensive digitalization of all distance learning programs is a significant added value for students. University and education experts consider digital learning models to be an essential element in the education sector, now and in the future. Digital learning enables flexibility, freedom, and self-determination. Students can begin their studies at the private university at any time and extend the standard period of study by up to 18 months – without additional fees.
