IFP goes international

The IFP broadens its network and is now offered not only in Austria, but also in the United Arab Emirates and Namibia!

We are proud that the Gulf Medical University in Dubai offers the IFP and therefore gives students from the the United Arab Emirates the chance to upgrade their secondary school education and start a bachelor study program then at the FH Upper Austria.

Prospective students from Namibia have now the chance to become a part of the students at FH Upper Austria, when they have completed the IFP Namibia at Private School Swakopmund. The Curriculum is the same as the IFP Austria and ideally prepares the students for their study start at FH Upper Austria.
