We’ve Made an Important Update to Our Study Formats

IU International University of Applied Sciences is no longer offering online degree programmes for international students outside the DACH region.


Discover our new focus and the exciting opportunities still available to you.

A Strategic Step Towards Excellence

To better serve our students, IU is focusing on delivering high-quality, career-focused on-campus education. Our studies offers you face-to-faced teaching complemented by online learning, and in-person learning and offer enough flexibility for you to work while studying. Our decision to discontinue online programmes for international students allows us to concentrate on providing immersive learning experiences in Germany, preparing students for successful careers in Europe and beyond.


(Note: This change does not impact current students. If you’re already enrolled in an online programme, your studies remain fully supported and your degree continues to be accredited and recognized internationally.) 

Explore New Opportunities with IU

Even though our online programmes are no longer available, we are excited to offer alternative pathways to achieve your academic and career goals:
