The International Academy of Philosophy (IAP) is a small private specialist institution in Vaduz dedicated to philosophy — particularly the realist phenomenological tradition. Founded in its Liechtenstein form in 1986 (with roots in an earlier philosophical academy), it offers focused graduate study in philosophy (MA/PhD level) to a small international student body. One of the very few institutions worldwide dedicated specifically to realist phenomenology and classical philosophical traditions; attracts a niche international scholarly community. Programmes offered in German and, for some, English given the international student base.

The University of Liechtenstein is the principality's national public university, based in the capital Vaduz. Its roots go back to 1961 (as an evening engineering school); it gained university status in 2011. Approximately 1,000 students — small but internationally connected, with a focus on two areas: Architecture & Spatial Development, and Business/Finance/Information Systems. Notably international given the country's size — many students and faculty come from neighbouring Switzerland, Austria, and Germany, and from across Europe. Several English-medium Master's programmes (particularly in finance and entrepreneurship) attract international students. Campus is located near the Rhine in Vaduz, in a converted former cotton-spinning mill.
