University profile
The INU – Innovative Hochschule sees itself as an innovative online university where you can combine digital and real events as well as various options abroad.
To help you make the most of your opportunities, we have rethought the way you study. We make a large part of the learning and study content available to you online via the INU App. This means you can study without a rigid timetable, whenever your daily schedule allows. And you can also take care of many of the tedious formalities involved in studying without spending a lot of time using the INU APP. For all our full-time and part-time students, there is of course also a real ‘student life’ at INU. Whenever you can arrange it, you can attend selected events on campus in person.
Even if you are already in the middle of your professional life, have a family or other personal commitments, you can make flexible use of these options.
