Yes, it is. IU International University of Applied Science is an accredited University. "Accreditation" describes the recognition of higher education institutions or study programmes according to certain criteria in order to ensure the quality of teaching and studies. In addition, it is intended to increase the transparency of study programmes and improve the international comparability of degrees. The institutional accreditation of private universities is carried out by the German Council of Science and Humanities, while the accreditation of study programmes at state-recognised universities is carried out by special accreditation agencies. The respective principles for this are set by the Accreditation Council.
As a state-accredited University, IU is recognised by the most important state institutions without any objections. In addition to the Accreditation Council, these include the State Central Office for Distance Learning (ZFU) and the German Science Council. We rely on an innovative quality management system that ensures compliance with both internal and external requirements and significantly supports the achievement of defined development goals. The numerous seals of approval, certificates, awards and top ratings from the best-known study comparison platforms confirm this.
