Our university is state-recognised by the federal government of Thuringen, Germany, and our degrees are recognised around the world.
We’re a member of the Association of African Universities (AAU) and the Association of Indian Universities (AIU) and were recognised by well-known organisations such as WES (US & Canada).

All of our degrees are offered in English from start to finish. How you study depends on you and the degree you choose:
You can choose one of the programmes we offer in our blended format, which combines independent online learning with in-person group tutorials at our campus in Berlin, Germany.
If you choose to join us on campus, you’ll not only enjoy a great student experience in a fantastic country to start your career in, but also get to study in our upgraded, blended campus study format.
