I help working professionals avoid costly mistakes when choosing a degree, get prior learning recognized efficiently, and reach the right qualification faster. From a network of 20+ partner universities worldwide.
Providers book a placement here. I only take on programmes I know and would suggest in a first consultation myself. The placement is paid, the assessment is mine.
Paid placement. Editorial content on this site is never for sale: the partner network and the programme overview are unpaid, and in a first consultation I say what actually fits you.
Continuing education, bachelor, master, MBA, doctorate, or CAS/DAS/MAS in Switzerland. I assess what is realistic and find the program that fits your career and your life.
From the first question to enrollment: how I guide working professionals to the right degree.
Video text:
There are hundreds of distance learning programmes, and every university naturally recommends its own. I look independently at which one is really right for you.
To do that, I check three things: whether you will be admitted, what can be credited towards your degree and whether the programme fits your goal and your everyday life. Once the choice is made, I take care of the rest: credit transfer, application, documents and enrolment, until you are enrolled.
It costs you nothing. For programmes from my partner network, the universities pay me, and the initial consultation is always free.
Two voices from Trustpilot, translated from German: “Personally, it really helped me to find a university quickly and continue my studies.” (Zana A.) “I count myself lucky to have come across Mr Ritter. The degree he recommended has truly changed my life.” (Jonathan)

Lars Ritter
I am a study consultant and university lecturer, and I support working professionals who want to study: honestly, explained from the inside and without the paperwork stress. Today I am doing my own doctorate and hold four degrees myself. Back then I would have wanted exactly these explanations, which is why this consultancy exists.
Video text (German):
Die meisten Karrieren scheitern nicht an Talent, sondern an der fehlenden Orientierung zur richtigen Zeit. Denn viele Menschen arbeiten hart, sie entwickeln sich weiter, aber bleiben trotzdem unter ihren Möglichkeiten. Und das nicht, weil sie falsch aufgestellt sind, sondern einfach darum, weil der nächste Schritt noch unklar ist. Und genau an diesem Punkt entscheidet sich sehr oft, ob eine Karriere stagniert oder ein neues Level erreichen kann.
Und genau hier kommen wir ins Spiel. Mein Name ist Lars Ritter und ich bin von nun an dein Studienflüsterer. Seit Jahren begleiten wir Menschen dabei, ihre Karriere strategisch weiterzuentwickeln. Dabei haben wir bereits zahlreiche Karrieren auf ein ganz neues Level gebracht, und das nicht zufällig, sondern durch unsere Erfahrung, die Strukturen und die Kontakte zu unseren Hochschulpartnern, zu denen viele gar nicht den direkten Zugang hätten.
Denn ein Studium ist kein Selbstzweck, ein Studium ist ein Werkzeug. Und wie jedes gute Werkzeug sollte es individuell zur jeweiligen Person passen. Viele, die zu uns kommen, stehen schon mitten im Berufsleben. Sie sind 25, 30 oder 40 plus. Sie tragen bereits eine Menge Verantwortung und möchten keine Experimente mehr machen. Deshalb schauen wir zuerst auf das grosse Ganze: auf Karriereziele, auf die individuellen zeitlichen Ressourcen und darauf, welcher Weg wirklich der richtige ist. Sobald diese Klarheit da ist, werden Entscheidungen plötzlich leicht, und Möglichkeiten werden sichtbar, die zuvor komplett verborgen waren.
Und wenn du jetzt spürst, dass mehr in dir steckt, und du wissen möchtest, welcher nächste Schritt für dich genau der richtige ist, dann lade ich dich herzlich zu einem kostenlosen Erstgespräch beim Studienflüsterer ein. Ein Gespräch, eine ehrliche Einschätzung und ein klarer Blick nach vorne. Manche Karrieren brauchen keinen Neustart, sondern einfach einen starken Partner an der Hand. Und dieser Partner sind wir. Wir sehen uns bald.
How to find the right distance degree and avoid costly mistakes. Written with Martin Stieger, published by Carl Hanser Verlag.
Degrees, admission, credit transfer, costs and how to spot a reputable programme: everything I keep explaining in my consultations, now in one book.

Real experiences from people I have guided through their studies.
“Lars really helped me with my MBA decision and honestly told me what to expect. Thanks to his advice, I chose a path that was exactly right for me.”

“Lars always laid out the milestones in a very structured way and was available around the clock. The collaboration was efficient, goal-oriented, and pleasant at the same time.”

“I met Lars during my bachelor's and later wrote my master's thesis with his support. For anyone studying for the first time, he is an invaluable resource.”

“Lars was tremendously helpful with my decision to pursue a doctorate. He took care of all organizational matters so I could focus entirely on my research.”

“Thanks to Lars, I found the right path and completed my MBA. This decision opened many doors in my career, and I am very glad about it.”

“The supervision of my bachelor thesis was very professional. Feedback was always prompt. Communication was consistently clear, structured, and solution-oriented.”

Clients other than the ones quoted above gave me permission to publish their entire course: starting point, turning point, collaboration and what came out of it in the end. Those are the case studies.
