The Lebanese German University is the outcome of a 35-year journey in education that started when the Lebanese German Organization for the Promotion of Culture and its Chairman, Dr. Faouzi Adaimi, set out on their long mission. In 1974 the Organization founded the Technical Institute of Paramedical Sciences (TIPS). As an institute of higher education, TIPS graduated over 2500 students in the field of healthcare and was renowned for being one of the most acknowledged institutions of higher education in Lebanon.
