The International University of Applied Sciences (IU) is a private university. Founded in 1998, it is one of Germany’s largest private universities, offering accredited online and on-campus programs. IU operates independently of government funding, relying on tuition fees and private investments.
Its programs are recognized by the German Council of Science and Humanities and the Accreditation Council, ensuring quality education. While public universities in Germany are tuition-free for domestic/EU students, IU charges fees but provides flexible learning options, making it a popular choice for international and working professionals.
