## What our students say

## Build future-ready skills with practical German education

For over 25 years, IU has been at the forefront of German education, offering specialised degree programmes in business, engineering, and technology.

Germany is known for its universities of applied sciences (or Fachhoschulen), such as IU, where theory and practice go hand-in-hand. This means you will:

- Learn from IU lecturers with 5+ years of professional experience.

- Apply knowledge gained to real-world case studies.

- Acquire valuable industry insights and in-demand work skills.

- Be fully prepared for the challenges of the working world.

According to the German Centre for Higher Education Research and Science Studies, five years after graduation, university of applied sciences graduates earn roughly 14.8% more than university graduates. Our German-quality education will help you gain a competitive edge over other professionals in your field.
