The IU University of Applied Sciences – Amsterdam (through GUS) is a private institution. It operates as part of the Global University Systems (GUS) network, which is a private education group offering programs across multiple countries.
Unlike public universities funded by governments, private institutions like IU rely on tuition fees and private investments. IU focuses on practical, career-oriented education, often with flexible online or hybrid learning options. While it is accredited and recognized, its private status means it does not receive public funding, which can influence tuition costs and operational structure.
