05 - Liechtenstein - Types of institution

Liechtenstein has only introduced its own higher education system in the mid nineteen eighties. Corresponding to the size of the country, this system is very small including only three nationally recognised university institutions. These are the Liechtenstein public University of Applied Sciences ( Hochschule Liechtenstein, HL) and the both small public higher education institutions, the International Academy of Philosophy ("Internationale Akademie für Philosophie", IAP) and the University of Human Sciences ("Universität für Humanwissenschaften", UFL).

Indirectly, the ( Hochschule) Interstate University of Technology Buchs (NTB) located close-by in Switzerland can be considered part of Liechtenstein’s higher education system. It was founded by the current patrons of this educational institution, the two Swiss cantons St. Gall and Grisons and the Principality of Liechtenstein.

Liechtenstein does not have any vocational schools and therefore relies on the corresponding institutions available in Switzerland.
