365Telugu.com online news,Hyderabad, June 12, 2025: Aptech Limited, a global leader in non-formal vocational training, has signed a landmark Articulation Agreement through its Malaysian subsidiary AGLSM Sdn Bhd with the International School of Management (ISM), Germany.

Gateway to Global Education in Germany
Established in 1990, ISM is one of Germany’s premier private business schools, with campuses in Dortmund, Frankfurt, Munich, Hamburg, Cologne, Stuttgart, and Berlin. It is widely recognized for its strong academic credentials, industry-relevant curriculum, and deep global partnerships.
Thanks to this agreement, eligible ADSE graduates from Aptech will be able to seamlessly enter ISM’s undergraduate programs in Information Technology and Data Science in their final year. Upon completion, students will also be eligible for an 18-month post-study work visa in Germany, with potential for long-term career opportunities and even permanent residency, depending on regulatory policies.
Transforming Global Mobility for Emerging Market Students
This partnership is especially significant as Germany continues to rise as a top destination for international students-due to its robust economy, low tuition costs, strong job market, and shortage of skilled tech professionals. Students from Nigeria, Vietnam, Indonesia, Qatar, and the Middle East-where Aptech has a strong presence—stand to benefit significantly.
Mr. Sandip Weling, Chief Business Officer – Global Retail Business and Whole-time Director, Aptech Limited, remarked:
“This is a pivotal moment in Aptech’s mission to democratize access to global education. The ISM agreement breaks down key barriers-cost, visa complexity, and recognition of prior learning-and creates a future-ready academic and career pathway for our students worldwide.”

A Future-Ready Partnership
This collaboration is just the beginning. Aptech and ISM are exploring further joint initiatives aimed at building comprehensive, borderless academic pathways that address the evolving needs of the global workforce. By offering credit recognition, cost-effective education, and clear career trajectories, the partnership is redefining how students from emerging economies access quality international education.
