What our students say

MBA Supply Chain Management

Mohammad Ajan Jalilzad

double-quote

I wanted to have an education that is different from our national one to be able to see the world differently. To study at a renowned university like IU and in a country like Germany means quality for us Afghans.

M.A. International Management

Renjit Vincent

double-quote

One of the highlights of IU was the opportunity to work with real-life scenarios and hands-on projects. Having professors from established companies and self-founded businesses was a true advantage since they provided real-life business insights.

Graduate

That is exactly why I would also recommend the study programme at IU: the friendly and direct interaction with fellow students, tutors and professors is indispensable to any student who wants to make rapid progress.
