Revolutionizing Digital Assessment

Who we are

IQUL GmbH is a quickly growing young company in the higher education market. As a provider of customized, digital examination platforms our team of fifty people pushes forward the digitalization of the higher education sector and plays a leading role in the creation of electronic exam standards in German-speaking regions. Although we are still young we are already represented in many universities in Germany, Switzerland, and Austria.

Research and Development

Research is our DNA and no empty phrase to us! That's why we invest every cent of our revenue in the further development of our examination platforms to make them even better and more efficient.

Our academic development partners are always involved:
We cooperate with Dr. med. vet. Jan Ehlers, professor and expert for didactics and medical educational at the University of Witten/Herdecke.
Since 2012, we also welcome the Hannover Medical School (MHH) as shareholder of our company. Together, we built a strategic alliance with strong mutual benefits.

Born Digital

Digitalization constitutes a paradigmatic shift for the organization and management of companies. We think digitally right from the start and have established flexible organizational structures which are ready for the future: We define our organization as a flexible Market-oriented Value Creation Network and see our customers and suppliers as strategic partners. For many processes, we are using the worldwide, digital community as efficient crowd-sourcing partners. We have also already outsourced many business processes to safe cloud-solutions.

We Love Our Customers

Our customers' loyalty is key for the sustainable growth of our company. That's why, it's our primary goal to be ahead of competition in every respect. Hence, we permanently seek our customers' feedback to continuously improve our products, services, and processes.
