IU International University of Applied Sciences Speciality : Computer Science
programme: Data Science

I have been studying at IUBH for a month. For me, this institution is a complete online study. You get everything you need to be successful in your studies. From online scripts to online exams, I have the flexibility to study at home. This is especially important for me because I also work.
All in all, I can only recommend this institution.
The future is here.

Studying online and being able to have such a flexible schedule, has allowed me to work, travel and study at the same time. The community is very supportive and there are plenty of opportunities for international students as well.

I never imagined of overseas study.

I felt blessed to receive an opportunity to learn from such a world’s best institute & faculty. I hope this education journey will certainly add a much value to my curriculum.

Really liked the freedom of studying online. The live sessions are well explained, as well as the course’s content. I’m enrolled in the BSc of Data Science and I’m on my 3rd semester. Would recommend this uni

My experience with IU is very wonderful and exceptional. The learning process is smooth and easy especially for online students and the exams are well tailored to test your knowledge on what you have been learning. It is quite great indeed.

Best thing i liked about IU is that it provided me an opportunity to start my course here in India and completion in Germany in a very flexible manners. Everything is great like study material availability, exam procedure and IU online portal is way more user friendly.
The thing that i disliked is little tough to point out, because I don’t see any. But one thing, whenever i tried to get some information via mails. A very few times, it took a little longer as response back.

The program is flexible. I’ve been able to work and study at the same time. It’s not really a cheap program if you’re foreign (or Latinoamerican in my case). The student community is supportive and helpful, the study advisors are also present if you contact them. The content is quite elevated and the university has many master programs to choose after you graduate.

I would like to express my serious concerns regarding my experiences at IU International University. I firmly believe that the university has violated my rights and bears legal responsibility for the following incidents:

Insufficient processing of my sabbatical semester request: Due to financial constraints, I paused my studies from July to December 2022 and was forced to apply for unemployment benefits. Since these benefits are not provided to students, I requested a sabbatical semester, which was initially approved. However, my subsequent request for the year 2023 was not approved in January as requested, due to a late submission. Typically, such requests are approved at the earliest possible opportunity, unless there are compelling reasons to deny them. In my case, there were no such reasons.

Technical error and failure to provide services: During a sabbatical semester, access to university services such as the dashboard and MyCampus is restricted, and the student’s payment obligations are suspended. However, I encountered a technical error that made it impossible for me to access the dashboard. Assuming that my sabbatical semester had been approved at the earliest possible opportunity, as is usually the case, I only realized the error three to four months later when I received invoices and reminders from the university. It is important to note that this technical error was on the university’s side, and the failure to provide services was a direct consequence of it.

Unclear responsibilities and lack of accountability: The university seems to lack clear structures and procedures for adequately addressing errors and complaints. I have found that responsibilities within the university are unclear, and there are no clear points of contact. Despite repeatedly describing my situation through phone calls and written communication, and being assured that a swift change to my study schedule would be made to accommodate my work as a working student, I was subjected to another expulsion without warning or prior notice, even though I had already terminated my studies in Business Administration. This is outrageous. The IU was aware of my situation for several weeks, and never was there any mention of also expelling me from my Data Science program. The first level support is not allowed to give names of responsible persons. All you can do is to wait. If I were the person, setting up a successfully working customer support I would be proud to be known by my name for that. That in the case of the IU nobody wants to be responsible at a higher level is a clear sign of something that is not quite good.

I want to emphasize that I will utilize every available channel to bring attention to my concerns and motivate IU International University to take action. I will exercise my rights and seek legal assistance to ensure that my concerns are adequately addressed. It is regrettable that this escalation has become necessary, but I feel compelled to protect my rights and stand up for a fair resolution. While I am open to being proven wrong regarding the positive reviews that IU has received, I expect IU International University to take responsibility and implement what they teach: good processes, a corporate culture, and customer orientation that align with the current state of time and science.

This situation has been a nightmare for me. I expect IU International University to take responsibility for these incidents and take appropriate measures to rectify the situation. I am willing to protect my rights and take all available legal steps to find a satisfactory solution.

Please be aware that I am writing this review as an expression of my dissatisfaction and determination. My goal is to highlight the urgent need for a resolution and ensure that my concerns are taken seriously.
