IU International University of Applied Sciences (reviews)

I am on a twenty four month International Management masters programme at IUBH. I have already done 18 months and have to say that it is one of the best universities offering online learning. IUBH has a very stable digital infrastructure that ensures a smooth online experience. The learning material is fully handed over to the student and one studies at their own pace.
I have discovered that although student engagement is not so active, the qualified and sensitive tutors, who have wide industry experience in their respective fields are always available to provide support to the students. Many tutors have been so helpful in guiding me in my revision for exams. However few have been reluctant in providing such guidance and insist that I work on my own in the revision.
I have also observed that the large international student population at IUBH seems to overwhelm the student office and so enquiries may, occasionally, take long to get a response. However, every enquirer, will definitely get a reply to their issue.

I recently had the privilege of participating in the MA International Management program at IU International University of Applied Sciences, which has had a lasting impact on my personal and professional development. Everything, from the study experience to the program content and the superb lecturers, has exceeded my expectations. I am delighted to share my experience and enthusiastically suggest this program to anybody seeking intellectual and personal improvement.
So far, the study experience has been incredibly immersive and fascinating. The program fostered intellectual curiosity and collaboration by providing a vibrant and dynamic learning environment. I felt a strong sense of connection and genuine eagerness for information sharing from day one. The range of viewpoints among my classmates improved the talks and broadened my comprehension of the subject.
The program itself was well-planned, covering a wide range of themes while maintaining depth and consistency. The information supplied was thorough and up to date, incorporating the most recent research and industry practices. The coursework was demanding yet rewarding, fostering critical thinking, problem solving, and applying academic principles to real-world settings. The curriculum of the program was well-structured and achieved an ideal balance between theoretical and practical applications.
The teachers truly distinguished this program. Throughout the program, their experience, passion, and attention to teaching were clear. They went above and above to ensure that we not only comprehended the topic but developed a true interest in it. The accessibility, approachability, and desire to provide advice and help by the lecturers substantially increased the learning experience. They promoted open debate, valued other points of view, and challenged us to think beyond the box.
In addition, the curriculum provided several possibilities for networking and professional development. Guest lectures, workshops, and industry collaborations introduced us to cutting-edge research and introduced us to key professionals in our field. These conversations not only broadened our knowledge but also enabled us to form vital relationships that would certainly help us in our future jobs. Finally, my experience with this academic program has been revolutionary in every way. My intellectual progress has been shaped and prepared for future difficulties by the engaging study experience, extensive program content, and great lecturers. I am convinced that the skills and information I received through this program will have a long-term influence on both my personal and professional life. Without a doubt, I strongly suggest this program to anyone who is looking for an interesting and rewarding educational experience.

I’ve been enrolled at IU University for 7 months, pursuing an online bachelor’s degree in computer science, and overall, I’m enjoying my journey. The unlimited independence and flexibility are the highlights for me—I can study any subject at my own pace, with materials available from the start. The accommodating professors and convenient live class timings, along with recorded sessions, ensure I never miss out. The journey began on a positive note with the helpful admission team reinforcing my choice. The only downside is the extended wait for exam results due to professors’ busy schedules. Nevertheless, IU University’s blend of freedom and support makes it recommendable.

Firstly, the practical approach is definitely a plus for those like me who want to gain industry skills instead of bookish knowledge. Secondly, teachers are so practical and elaborates everything so calmly and politely…. Staff is also very cooperative
I would highly recommend to choose IU 😊😇

IU University of Applied Sciences is a groundbreaking institution offering flexible, high-quality education both online and offline. Embracing technology and innovation, IU provides students with a forward-looking and enriching learning experience, preparing them for a successful future.

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.

My total experience being a student at IU has been really exceptional. It turns out to be one the best decision of my life having enrolled into one of the department of the University. Having to switch from the regular traditional mode of learning to an innovative mode of learning was the significant factor i was really curious about, but IU has instituted a framework and measure to ensure that i am able to study conveniently and also have quality value for my time at the University. To me, i will surely recommend IU to anyone looking for quality education.

I’m studying bachelors in Computer Science from IU and I’m in 3rd semester right now and it has been an incredible experience for me. Their unique approach of combining theory and practical learning has been truly amazing. The exams are challenging but have helped me grow immensely. Our module’s professors are highly knowledgeable and provide prompt support when needed. I like interacting with fellow students in the virtual campus environment has been engaging. IU is the perfect place to thrive and excel in your education. I think it is ideal for the students who are working and are seeking for recognised degree. Highly recommended.

I am Taj Ashraf a working professional as an Electrical Engineer in Dubai. I would love to praise IU international university for most of the things that in todays age very few university is providing. The first one is IU takes care of student’s time and other commitments. IU’s Online Examination flexible timing is the best. Anyone could give exam anytime in a week even at midnight. This type of flexibility is hard to get in other university. IU’s study program updated regularly and it is matched with the current technical trend and industry requirements means IU produces industry ready student. It shows in result also that 95% of IU’s graduate got the Job within 6 month of passing the exams.
Benefits for student
1. economical
2. course quality
3. flexibility
Cons: None
I would love to recommend IU to everyone.

I just started my second semester at IU and I haven’t had any problems so far.
IU is giving me the opportunity to study at a German university while living in Spain. This makes traveling and visiting far more easy and cost efficient since I can travel whenever I want to.
I’m not bound to any pre-determined semester and this way I can plan and structure everything the way I’d like it to be. I can choose how, when and what I want to study according to my study methods. This choice leaves me with no exam period and less stress for myself.
Nevertheless it’s important to mention, that all this freedom doesn’t equal easy studying. Studying at a regular university isn’t easier than doing it from home. I would even say that having to organize your studies and staying motivate is making studying online a little harder since there is no one telling you what to do.
In my opinion, the responsibility that comes with studying at IU will be beneficial for my future life.
If I do feel lost there is a huge team, that will help me with any type of question and I feel better looked after than my friends, that study at regular German universities.
