Hopefully they get enough traction and get this off the ground by Fall 2024, even a Winter 2024 start would be great...Yes. I am from Germany, but even as a german I excited about this because so far the only public (=affordable) Uni I know of that is 100% online is Fernuni Hagen here, which has a sort of limited catalog and the digital subject matter advertised by UDS looks really intriguing. You can request their 5 year whitepaper somewhere on the website in order to get a bit more insight on them. I already received it, just need the time to browse through it. I also signed up to receive an email once their MOOCs launch and just hope I signed up for a newsletter in general, because I'd really love to stay up to date on this school. I read about them on some german IT news site ("Golem") and once googling it found some more news-sites talking about them. I really hope they succeed.
They also seem to have scheduled "finishing accreditation with the state of Brandenburg" by Q3 2024, so I assume a more realistic start of studies would be Q4 or Q1 25. That said, MOOCs may start earlier, just like early bird signups.
