International Partner Universities
Hello from the beautiful Northern Black Forest!
IHL is a university of applied sciences that has many globally minded students. Typically, 40 to 50 percent of our junior students go abroad for studying or internships for at least one semester.
In addition, IHL is still in the process of building up programs that encourage students from abroad to come study at our accredited university of applied sciences. Our various international partners on five continents are a key to student mobility.
Kind regards and shalom,
