FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Common Questions About Studying at CIE
Is CIE accredited?
Yes. CIE holds accreditation from USA-based organizations (ACTD and AAHEA) and operates under European Union educational regulations through recognition from Czech Republic educational authorities.
This means your degree meets international quality standards and is recognized globally.
Can I study while working full-time?
Yes, that’s exactly what our programs are designed for. Most CIE students maintain full-time employment while studying.
Our online format has no fixed class schedules. You access lectures and complete assignments when it fits your work schedule. Many students study early mornings, evenings, or weekends.
How long do programs take to complete?
Program length varies based on the degree level and your personal pace:
- Bachelor’s programs: Typically 3-4 years
- Master’s programs: Typically 18-24 months
- Doctoral programs: Typically 3-5 years
Because programs are self-paced, you can accelerate if you have more time available, or slow down during busy work periods.
Do I need to take entrance exams?
Most CIE programs do not require entrance examinations. We use a holistic admissions process that considers your educational background, professional experience, and career goals.
Specific program requirements vary, so check with admissions for your chosen program.
Will employers recognize my online degree?
Yes. Your CIE diploma does not indicate that your program was completed online. It shows your earned degree and specialization.
What matters to employers is accreditation. CIE’s recognized accreditation ensures your credentials are valued in the professional marketplace.
What's the difference between the three study formats?
100% Online: Completely remote with no in-person requirements. Maximum flexibility.
Work-Integrated (Dual): Combines study with employment at partner companies. Employers often cover tuition.
Hybrid (myCIER): Mostly online with some optional in-person seminars and workshops.
All three formats lead to the same accredited degree. Choose based on your employment situation and learning preferences.
When can I start my program?
Unlike traditional universities with fixed semesters, CIE offers flexible start dates throughout the year. You can typically begin within a few weeks of admission approval.
This means you don’t have to wait months for a semester to start. Begin when it makes sense for your career and personal situation.
How much does it cost?
Program costs vary depending on your degree level, specialization, and study format. Work-integrated programs may have employer-funded tuition.
For specific pricing, download our free study brochure or contact our student advisory team. We provide transparent cost information with no hidden fees.
Can I transfer previous college credits?
Possibly. CIE evaluates prior academic work and professional experience on a case-by-case basis.
If you’ve completed university courses elsewhere or hold professional certifications, you may receive credit that shortens your program timeline. Contact admissions with your transcripts for an evaluation.
What support do online students receive?
CIE provides comprehensive support:
- Personal student advisors from enrollment through graduation
- Faculty access for academic questions
- Technical support for the online platform
- Career services and professional development resources
- Student community forums for peer connection
- Extensive FAQ and learning resources
Support is available Monday-Friday 8am-8pm, Saturday 9am-5pm (CET) via phone, WhatsApp, and email.
What language are programs taught in?
Programs are primarily taught in English. Arabic language support is also available for certain programs.
You should be comfortable reading, writing, and understanding professional-level English. If you can handle business communication in English, you’ll be prepared for CIE coursework.
