IU JOB GUARANTEE

The Job Guarantee offers students enrolled in our master’s in tech programmes a risk-free way to study in Germany: either you get a job within 18 months of graduation, or your full tuition refunded. 

To help you land a job in Germany, we’ll provide you with access to exclusive, personalised career support and services.
