Accreditations & awards
Karlshochschule has been state-recognised by the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Science since 2005.
With institutional accreditation, the Science Council ensures that a non-state university can provide teaching and research services that meet recognised academic standards. This is intended to ensure both academic performance and the functioning of the university's own quality control system.
System accreditation was granted by the Foundation for International Business Administration Accreditation (FIBAA) on 13 April 2015 without any conditions. System accreditation by an external accreditation agency (FIBAA) enables Karlshochschule to accredit its degree programs itself in a self-accreditation procedure by an external expert commission. Since the system accreditation in 2015, all study programmes at Karlshochschule have undergone this accreditation procedure. In accordance with the resolution of the Accreditation Council of the Foundation for the Accreditation of Study Programmes of 31 March 2023, Karlshochschule International University was reaccredited until 31 March 2030.

Scholarships
As a small, non-profit foundation university, Karlshochschule only has very limited opportunities to support students with scholarships. However, the study programmes at Karlshochschule meet all the requirements of numerous scholarship providers. In this way, we want to make it possible for students to study at Karlshochschule regardless of their financial background.
In addition to the general scholarships, Karlshochschule also offers partial scholarships for studying at Karlshochschule together with our partner organisations.
Erasmus scholarships and other scholarships for the semester abroad are awarded by our International Office: During the semester abroad, Karlshochschule students studying at European partner universities are 100% funded by Erasmus scholarships!
