About us

Formerly "Wings University"
Kiron Open Higher Education is a start-up project, registered in Berlin, Germany as a nonprofit non governmental organization. The goal of Kiron is to provide people and especially refugees, worldwide, with the opportunity to get higher education and eventually graduate with an internationally accredited university degree.

There are more than 6.5 million refugees world wide that are qualified to be enrolled at a higher educational institution. However, the main problems standing between them and the acquisition of their basic human right range from the lack of financial resources, to the absence of required legal documents, to the extremely small number of available seats at the universities of the host countries, as well as problems such as the language issue.

Our project aims to solve these problems by offering absolutely free higher education, and granting an internationally accredited degree after graduation. Not setting a deadline for the submission of the legal notarized documents, but giving the students time until their last days before graduation. Since Kiron will be online, we solve the capacity issue since we will be able accept all the students that we need to take in. We solve the language issue by offering our courses in English, the number one most widely spoken second language in the world, and the easiest to learn. We also offer language courses for people whose language is not sufficient enough on an academic level.

Our team consists of entrepreneurs, IT-specialists, web designers and of course, the academic staff who partly worked at Harvard and other world-leading institutions before, who bring a lot of experience in founding a real university. We are based in Berlin @ Social Impact Lab which is a SAP backed institution.

Our goal is to launch the programs and let the students start their education in Fall 2015.
