Über uns

In  1964  he established the first campus of Schiller College at the medieval castle of  Ingersheim , near Stuttgart in Southern Germany and named it after the famous 18th century German poet who also is considered as a national figurehead for ideas of liberty and tolerance among nations. The college was very successful – soon several dozen, then up to three and four hundred colleges and universities all over the United States chose Schiller as their study abroad venue in Germany.

A second and third campus was opened in Germany and two years later  Dr. Leibrecht’s vision  of an international university grew beyond the borders of Germany, when a study center was opened in Paris, France, soon to be followed by campuses in Madrid, Spain and London, England.

“The educational mission of Schiller International University is to prepare students, personally and professionally, for future leadership roles in an international setting. In its undergraduate and graduate degree programs, Schiller provides students with the competencies they need for professional careers as well as for further academic study.”

“The educational process puts particular emphasis on developing international and cross-cultural competencies through foreign language training, intercampus transfer, or other international academic opportunities, and intense interaction among people with diverse backgrounds.”
