TIME TO TAKE ACTION.
Everyone should have the opportunity to grow through self-determined education, regardless of their personal, professional or financial situation, nationality, or ethical background. That's why at IU International University of Applied Sciences (IU), we make individual education possible – giving people a chance for whom traditional universities or study models aren’t an option.
WHAT SETS US APART FROM OTHER UNIVERSITIES
70 % students from non-academic households
Compared to 47% at traditional universities
16 % students without a secondary school leaving certificate
Compared to 2.5% in Germany overall
WORLD'S FIRST UNIVERSITY WITH ONLINE EXAMS
PASS EXAMS FROM HOME.
In 2016, we were the first higher education institution to offer online exams. An important step for us – and above all for people who are bound by their location and cannot simply drive to the institution for exams. We take down barriers for our students.
