We already know that we live in a global world. Just like we know that today's professionals must be able to broaden their perspective so they can be global as well. However, what do we mean by being global? The answer is not as simple as it seems.
Globality implies going the extra mile to understand and know how the new reality of the world we live in works, which is doing away with borders to become more and more connected.
What is a global professional?
A global professional is someone who has a broad perspective of the reality around them, who understands all the international markets and different cultures, and who is fully capable of adapting, since they know how to be flexible in the face of change. It's someone who is proactive and knows how to solve the problems that may occur in the future, that is to say, someone who is resolute.
The first step in training these new global professionals is, of course, through education. And it is no longer enough to pursue an education in international studies or study at a foreign university, it is important to understand how the global world works.
That is why at Schiller International University we have developed an experiential methodology in which our students can learn by living in up to four different countries, in the four cities where our campuses are located: Tampa (in Florida, USA), Madrid (in Spain), Paris (in France), and Heidelberg (in Germany). All of them were strategically chosen to help students develop a completely global mindset, take their international studies to the next level, and make them not only more global but also successful leaders. Becoming smart global professionals.
Study internationally in four different countries
According to statistics taken from International Student Survey Insights 2021-2022, the majority of students who choose to study abroad today do so for three distinct reasons: to achieve career goals (49.61%), to develop their personalities (47.01%), and to experience new cultures or lifestyles (45.78%). These reasons are probably the same as yours.
Well, studying at Schiller International University will encourage you to achieve all these goals (and more), through a unique experience that very few universities can offer. With us, you will be able to study internationally in four different countries, broadening your horizons and your worldview and challenging you to learn first-hand about the world around you, by learning about its issues, its businesses, and, just as importantly, about yourself.
Where are these campuses located? In powerful major cities that will leave their mark on you. We'll tell you more about them!

Just a stone's throw from the Arc de Triomphe is our campus in Paris, the French capital. Known by many as the capital of the world due to the large number of international political, economic, and cultural institutions located here.
