Lars Ritter introduces himself

Four degrees, an ongoing doctorate, an active lecturer. The person behind the study counselling.

Video text (German):

Ich stand bei Minusgraden auf der Baustelle und heute schreibe ich meine Doktorarbeit. Hey, ich bin Lars Ritter, ich bin der Studienflüsterer. Mein Weg war nicht gerade, er war Schritt für Schritt und manchmal auch gegen Zweifel.

Ich habe damals mit einer Schreinerlehre angefangen, doch dann kam irgendwann der Wunsch nach mehr. Mehr Verstehen, mehr Möglichkeiten, mehr Perspektive. Dann kamen die Abschlüsse, nicht auf einmal, sondern nacheinander, neben Alltag und Verantwortung: MBA mit 1,5, Magister BWL und Management mit 1,8 und ein IT-Sicherheitsmaster mit 1,0. Heute bin ich Doktorand und ich weiss genau, wie sich dieser Weg anfühlt, wenn man nicht aus der klassischen Akademikerfamilie kommt. Ich bin Dozent an mehreren Hochschulen. Ich sehe also nicht nur die Studentenseite, sondern weiss auch ganz genau, was eine Hochschule von den Studierenden erwartet.

Warum ich das erzähle? Nicht um Eindruck zu machen, sondern um aufzuzeigen, was möglich ist. Viele Menschen denken über ein Studium nach und stoppen sofort: zu wenig Zeit, zu teuer, zu alt, zu kompliziert neben Job und Familie. Mir ist wichtig: Ein Studium soll nicht wie ein Riesenberg wirken, sondern wie ein Weg, den man in klare Schritte runterbricht.

Wenn du hier bist, um mich und meine Arbeit kennenzulernen, dann bist du genau richtig. Bis bald.

Studying alongside your job, even without a high school diploma: personal academic advising for working professionals.
Why me: Lars Ritter, lecturer and examiner at several universities, four degrees of my own plus an ongoing doctorate, over 120 working professionals successfully guided, over 20 universities in my partner network.

I find your academic path: Bachelor, Master, MBA, doctorate, CAS, DAS, MAS and certificates from over 1,800 programs and over 20 university partners.
Academic advising for people with real lives, ideal for working professionals, career changers, upskilling, Master or MBA and for people without a high school diploma.
Step 1, Understand: clarify goals, opportunities and pace. Afterwards you know which paths even make sense for you.
Step 2, Find: filter the few fitting paths out of over 1,800 programs, by goal, admission, schedule, budget and credit transfer.
Step 3, Get it done: count training, work experience and prior coursework toward your degree, up to 50 percent less study time, get there faster with lower costs.
Step 4, Support: paperwork, coordination with the university, enrollment and reassurance. You do not have to do this alone.
What you gain: clarity, time, certainty and less stress, at no extra cost when placed at partner universities.
What no extra cost means: for every successful placement I receive a commission from my university partners, your costs do not go up.

Your Study Consultant

I know the education system from the inside, not from catalogs

4 degrees, active doctoral candidate, lecturer and examiner. 120+ consultations. 20+ publications.

Four degrees.
All while working.

From a carpentry apprenticeship through bachelor, MBA, and master to an active doctorate: I have been through every stage myself. Today I teach and examine at universities, so I know applications, credit transfer, and daily study life from both sides. You benefit from that instead of making the same mistakes.
