IU International University of Applied Sciences launches new international study abroad and work opportunities

IU’s newly launched Study Abroad Alliance offers students international opportunities in North America, Europe and Australia to all students.

• Students benefit from a unique hybrid learning model where they start their studies online at IU and finish on campus at one of IU’s partner universities worldwide.
• A globally recognised, top-rated university degree is earned via one of its nine partner universities, with additional study locations to be added.
• Students save money during their online studies and have increased chances of job placement and post-study residency in the host country.

Students at the IU International University of Applied Sciences (IU) can participate in its new Study Abroad Alliance. Through IU’s new study alliances, students can begin their studies online with IU in their home countries and finish their degrees on campus at one of its nine partner universities worldwide. This new study model will help students save money on tuition fees and living expenses and facilitate a post-study residency in the host country. Students can choose between universities in North America, Europe – including the UK – and Australia, with additional study locations added over time.

Prof. Dr. Florian Hummel, Vice-Rector International, IU International University of Applied Sciences, said:
“By collaborating with universities on a global level, students benefit from an open-border approach where everybody has access to education regardless of their country of residence. IU’s new Study Abroad Alliance offers opportunities to save money on a high qualitative education and facilitates relocation to a desired country to help adult learners succeed on a pathway to international employability and career success.”

The new Study Abroad Alliance combines online and on-campus learning, offering a flexible approach to students. Depending on the partner university, students participating in IU’s Study Abroad Alliance must complete several online semesters at IU before transferring to their selected partner university for their final semesters. Due to IU’s unique partnerships, all credits are transferable, and students will be awarded a globally recognised, top-rated university degree from the partner university after graduation. Upon completing their studies, students interested in seeking employment in their host country benefit from an easier process of acquiring post-study residency thanks to their prior study visa.

Carolina Fromm, Head of International Expansion at IU, said:
“We are excited to launch IU’s new Study Abroad Alliance, enabling even more students to pursue their dreams and access state-of-the-art knowledge through an innovative study model in the country of their choice. The tailor-made study alliance underscores the strength of IU’s global academic partnerships and helps shape our students into world-class talent.”

IU’s Study Abroad Alliance collaborates with higher education institutions to provide internationally recognised, top-quality education to its students. Students can study online at IU International University of Applied Sciences (IU), Germany’s largest private university offering 60 customizable online bachelor’s and master’s degrees in English before selecting their study destination abroad.
