Behind the podcast

Two perspectives, one format

Fernstudium Talk is a collaboration between Studienflüsterer and Fernstudium Direkt. Both bring their expertise and network into every episode.

Fernstudium Talk is a joint project between two players in the German distance-learning market: Studienflüsterer and Fernstudium Direkt. Lars Ritter has been advising prospective students personally for years; Fernstudium Direkt has been one of the leading comparison portals for distance-learning programmes in German-speaking countries for over a decade.

We talk about what you won't find in university brochures: which providers actually deliver, how credit transfer really works, what a master's without a bachelor's costs, whether a part-time doctorate is worth it. No marketing promises, no fluff: just concrete answers.
