The success of your company's goals depends to a large extent on the skills and commitment of your employees who implement them. By consistently promoting continuing education programmes, you’ll create an investment that will pay off many times over. IU International University of Applied Sciences (IU), Germany's most renowned private university*, supports your company and your employees on this path.

First-hand experiences

Katja Fauth

Director of Human Resources and Quality at Althoff Hotels 

"With the new online exams on offer, IU provides even more flexibility during studies – and this is particularly relevant for students who usually work or take care of their family alongside their studies. Being able to take exams at any time and from any place is something we at Althoff Hotels see as a big step forward for everyone involved. We are quite convinced by the idea that we would like to introduce the online exam in our own further education programmes in the future.”
