Honestly
Why this works
- Tuition of €6,000 per year is significantly lower than most German private universities, which commonly charge €10,000–€20,000.
- Fields in health, nursing, social work, and psychology are in strong demand across Germany and the EU labour market.
- Berlin offers one of Europe's largest student communities, with extensive internship and NGO networks in the social and health sectors.
- A German university degree is recognised across all EU and Schengen countries, expanding career options beyond Germany.
- Germany grants 18 months post-study job-seeker visa, giving graduates time to find employment after completing their degree.
- An IELTS minimum of 6.0 is accessible for most CIS applicants with intermediate English preparation.
What to check
- This is a private university: unlike most German public universities, it charges tuition — students must budget €6,000 every year for the full duration.
- Proof of funds requires a blocked account (Sperrkonto) of approximately €11,904 for the first year, which must be secured before the visa application.
- Daily life in Berlin — transport, bureaucracy, landlord communication — is predominantly in German, posing a real barrier for students without German language skills.
- Non-EU school leavers whose certificates are not directly recognised in Germany may need to complete a preparatory course (Studienkolleg) before admission.
- Berlin has a severe student housing shortage; finding affordable accommodation on arrival is competitive and can take several months.
