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 public University of
Liechtenstein ( Universität Liechtenstein, HL) and the both
small private 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 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.
