The right study programme for you
Institutions we partner with
Our collaboration with UCLA Extension under the IU Study Abroad Alliance allows you to study in Los Angeles, California and earn your IU degree plus an additional certificate from UCLA.

Thanks to the Cambridge Assessment International Education certification, IU offers you a chance to earn a high school diploma and a bachelor's degree at the same time, with no additional costs.
