In the words of the university:

The International University SDI München emerged from the renowned Sprachen & Dolmetscher Institut München (SDI München) in 2007. The clear goal was and is to offer hands-on Bachelor’s and Master’s degree programmes that combine business and economics, media and communication and thus provide our students with the best possible entry into international companies and organisations.

As a non-profit institution, our entire focus is on the students and not on maximising profits. Research and teaching are geared towards combining interculturalism with modern management know-how, professional language skills and the new media. These skills acquired in our interdisciplinary degree programmes make our graduates particularly sought-after on the global job market.

The International University SDI München is state-recognised and has a large number of international partnerships.
