IU student review

I am of the opinion that IU gets too much of a bad reputation for an institution that has “pioneered” the online learning space. I use the word pioneered in quotation marks because I may be wrong and stand to be corrected .

Now I don’t mean that it was the first institution ever to introduce online learning, I simply refer to the scale at which they’ve been able to do so. Not only have they made learning accessible for students all over the world but I do believe they’ve done so while keeping the academic standards quite in order.

It must, however, be noted that lecturers could generally be more invested into your learning as sometimes it feels like you’re completely alone. I would also only go the IU route if you do well with self study and can mostly teach yourself new concepts as lecturers only consolidate knowledge gaps rather than present the material.

As I near the end of my studies, I have personally had a pleasant experience thus far and I would recommend IU to you but only if the above sounds doable for you;)

Dear IU,

Dear IU,
Today is one of the happiest and most emotional days of my life. Looking back at my master's journey, I feel proud and thankful for every moment I spent at IU.
When I started this journey, I came with dreams and many questions about my future. Today, I leave with knowledge, confidence, and a new identity. I truly feel that IU has given me a name and helped me become the person I wanted to be.
There were challenging times, but every lesson, every project, and every experience helped me grow both personally and professionally. I will always be grateful to my professors, classmates, and the entire IU team for their support and encouragement.
Thank you for organizing such a wonderful graduation ceremony. It made this special milestone even more meaningful. This is not the end of my journey—it is the beginning of a new chapter, and IU will always be an important part of my story.
Thank you, IU, for everything. I will always be proud to be an IU graduate.

Highly rewarding Computer Science journey!

My experience at IU surpassed all my expectations. I not only thoroughly enjoyed my time studying here, but I also learned an immense amount. As a Computer Science student, gaining hands-on, practical experience was incredibly important to me, and the curriculum delivered exactly that. The academic staff made a massive difference in my journey; I learned so much from the highly knowledgeable professors and the dedicated PhD assistants who were always there to guide us. This program truly gave me the real-world skills and confidence I need for my tech career. I highly recommend IU to anyone looking for a high-quality education!

Don't bother wasting your time with applying to IU


Don't bother wasting your time with their hiring process. They put you through a highly automated funnel that has zero human touch and completely contradicts itself at every step.

I applied for a Freelance Deep Learning Lecturer position. First, they hyped me up, told me my profile was impressive, and rushed me to fill out their long HR questionnaires and submit documents. Then they told me my files were sent to their Legal Department for review. Shortly after, without any explanation from the actual people I was talking to, their system just blasted me with a generic "the positions are filled" automated rejection template.

The whole process is completely disorganized. They act like they have an urgent need for lecturers, keep you interested for a long time, waste your time collecting your paperwork, and then let an automated system dump you. It feels like a mass-market sales funnel, not an academic institution. Completely unprofessional candidate experience. And I believe few positive reviews here are either written by themselves through fake accounts or forced some students to write it so that it looks good

Dear Dhanalakshmi,

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that the recruitment process left you with such a negative impression.

We understand how receiving positive feedback on your profile, being asked to complete documentation, and then ultimately receiving a rejection can feel contradictory and frustrating. For freelance lecturer positions, however, several review processes take place in parallel, including academic, operational, and legal assessments. An initial positive evaluation of a profile therefore does not necessarily guarantee that a position can ultimately be offered. Requirements can change quickly, and in some cases there may be more suitable candidates than available teaching opportunities.
We also acknowledge that the reasons behind such decisions are not always communicated as clearly as they could be. Transparent communication is important, particularly when candidates have already invested time in the process.

Regarding reviews on platforms such as trustpilot, these are submitted independently and reflect the experiences of different individuals. As a result, opinions and assessments naturally vary.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and perspective.

Not Recommended: Unfair Tuition Increase and Poor Support

My experience with this school has been extremely disappointing.
First, when I extended my contract, my tuition fees were raised by an unreasonable 80%, which felt unfair.
On top of that, student support is very limited - communication is slow, issues are not always resolved, and there’s no clear guidance on which team to contact for specific enquiries. If you contact the wrong team, you’re often sent to another one yourself, leading to a lot of wasted time and energy in back-and-forth correspondence.
For example, when I tried to change my study program, it took six months to get resolved; my initial requests were denied without explanation (at least 5 times I'm not kidding) and I was constantly redirected to other departments - until I decided to quit, and only then did they start addressing the matter seriously and I got my request approved right away.
Third, there is no clarity around timelines: the release of grades is consistently late, which creates additional stress and uncertainty.

I also wanted to point out that the user experience on their learning platform is unsatisfactory. Technical issues occur from time to time and I was not able to get timely assistance (because you can only contact them by email)

I do not recommend this school to prospective students.

Ein Verein für Looser sorry. Abzocke

Sie schmeißen dich aus deinem Kurs Fragen nach ausstehenden Zahlungen nur um dich dann zu überreden wieder neu anzufangen:D
Danke Dana für die tollen emails aber nein danke. Ich habe eine weltweit bekannten Ruf und werde dies mit nicht von Iubh durch Association kaputt machen. Ein Abschluss bei Iubh ist somit wertlos. Besser kein Studium als mit solchen Menschen und Vereinen in Verbindung gebracht zu werden. Dein Studium - deine Regeln. Ja genau :D

Hallo Tatjana,
vielen Dank für Dein Feedback.

Wir distanzieren uns ausdrücklich von diffamierenden Behauptungen bezüglich des Studierendenangebots der IU Internationalen Hochschule und falschen Tatsachenbehauptungen. Konstruktives Feedback nehmen wir gerne auf.

Nach Rücksprache mit dem Finanzteam, wurdest Du aufgrund ausbleibender Zahlungen leider exmatrikuliert.

Im Rahmen des Studienvertrags sind die Studiengebühren gemäß der vereinbarten Ratenzahlungsregelung fristgerecht zu begleichen. Über Fälligkeiten informieren wir vorab mehrfach über die IU-Mailadresse, im myCampus-Bereich „Zahlungen“ sowie zusätzlich über die private E-Mailadresse. Zusätzlich verschicken wir eine monatliche Rechnungsstellung als Serviceleistung.

Sollten Zahlungen nicht innerhalb von maximal zwei Monaten nach Fälligkeit eingehen, behalten wir uns gemäß den vertraglichen Regelungen vor, den Studienvertrag zu beenden und eine Exmatrikulation wegen offener Gebühren vorzunehmen. Hierzu sind wir vertraglich nicht verpflichtet und es ist die studentische Mitwirkungspflicht der Studierenden, die Raten pünktlich selbstständig zu begleichen.

Selbstverständlich besteht die Möglichkeit, einen neuen Vertrag abzuschließen. Dieses Angebot ist stets optional. Bei Interesse können sich die Studierenden an das Finanzteam via finanzen-fernstudium@iu.org wenden.

Zudem bitten wir Dich, keine Klarnamen von Mitarbeiter:innen auf öffentlichen Plattformen zu nennen und diesen zu entfernen. Sollte etwas zukünftig nicht nach Plan gelaufen sein, wende Dich bitte direkt an unser Fachteam für die Beschwerden. Melde Dich hierzu daher gerne unter: beschwerde@iu.org.

Vielen Dank für Deine Mithilfe!

Beste Grüße
Dein Team vom IU Fernstudium

Perfect for working professionals!

I’ve had an amazing experience at IU International University of Applied Sciences. As a student balancing a job with variable timings, the flexibility here is a lifesaver. Being able to study and take exams whenever I want—literally on my own schedule—is what helped me manage my life and career without extra stress.

Even when I faced some financial hurdles, the university was incredibly supportive and offered me easy, flexible payment options tailored to my needs. It’s rare to find an institution that actually cares about your situation. I’m really happy with my journey so far and have already recommended IU to my friends and family!

Visually Impaired Student Learning Experience (B.Sc.)

I'm a visually impaired student and had trouble finding offline colleges. Among the online options, IU was one of the better priced ones.

They have a pretty well-designed LMS. I can manage all my courses, exams, results, documents, etc from there. My course also includes a Microsoft 365 subscription.

Initially, I did have trouble with their online exam system (Examity, at the time), so my progress was slow. However, they have improved significantly last year and you can consult their accessibility team to talk about accommodation suggestions. Applications to the exams office to request accommodations can also be made online.

Personally, I find the new exam system to be quite good. It adapts to my Chrome extensions to force dark themes on websites. The process is quite smooth, you can easily share your screen, connect your phone, and the proctor's are usually polite as well.

Most of the professor's I've interacted with have been helpful and supportive, with some of them making the extra effort to help you succeed at their course.

Overall, it has been a good experience except for the first 2 year when the exam system wasn't accessible for me, but newer students should have a better time.

Never register any information on the IU website; they will use your information to create contracts and demand unreasonable tuition fees.

This is terrible. This is an educational service scam. I only registered my interest in the course on March 16, 2026, without verifying my identity or signing any contract with IU. Then, on March 19, 2026, I messaged the school via WhatsApp to cancel (this is their official channel, according to their email). I did not attend any trial classes, use any resources, or access any accounts provided by IU, yet on May 7, 2026, they emailed me a tuition invoice. Even though I hadn't completed my registration and was not a student of the school at all.
