Kiron Open Higher Education (gGmbH) is a non-profit organization founded in 2015 with
the mission to enable access to higher education and successful learning for
refugees through digital solutions. As part of an innovative educational model
Kiron offers coherent curricula using MOOCs (Massive Open OnlineCourses) from
partner platforms like Coursera and edX so that refugees can start studying
regardless of their status. Courses are mostly provided in English, completely
free of charge for the students and all accessible via our learning platform
Kiron Campus.
Through strong partnerships with accredited
universities worldwide, students have the opportunity to finish their program
with a regular bachelor’s degree. Today, a team of 70 employees receives
further support from about 400 volunteers worldwide and a competence pool
consisting of experts from relevant fields, such as professors, psychologists
and business specialists.
