Study in English

You will automatically train your speaking, reading and understanding skills when you study for your bachelor's or master's degree programme in English at the IU International University of Applied Sciences. In other words, you prepare yourself "in-parallel" for the international working world without having to take additional Business English courses. After all, ordinary school English is usually not enough to communicate confidently in international business meetings. 

Good foreign language skills also underline that you are an open-minded and tolerant person and show that you have intercultural skills. Another plus point: fluent English makes it easier for you to expand your network, as you can communicate effortlessly in an international environment. This way you can build your contacts more quickly and develop closer relationships overseas.

Good command of English and intercultural skills are often a prerequisite in many professions and industries because the world of employment is becoming increasingly dynamic and international due to rapid globalisation and digitalisation. A degree programme taught in English will help you to stand out from the competition when it comes to finding a job. This will increase your competitiveness and makes it easier for you to climb the career ladder. 

Furthermore, according to a study by the language-oriented education company Education First (EF), very good English skills ensure a higher income. The company uses the EF English Proficiency Index (EF EPI) to measure the English proficiency of adults worldwide every year and examines it in relation to economic and social indicators. According to this index, the participants from countries with the best English earn the most with an average of 41,000 US dollars per year, whereas the countries with the worst scores earn only 7,500 US dollars per year.
