## About

Berlin is Germany's student capital with one of Europe's largest international student communities. Living costs are moderate for a major city—roughly €700–850/month—and the social and health sectors offer abundant internship and part-time work. The NGO and humanitarian network is particularly strong, with organisations like the Red Cross and emergency-response agencies headquartered or active there.

## Strengths

- 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.

## Watch out for

- 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.

## Accommodation

- **University dormitory:** no
- **Private housing:** €600–680
- **Rent figures describe:** the city of Berlin
- **How to apply:** No institutional housing portal. Search directly via WG-Gesucht, ImmoScout24 or local agencies; expect a private deposit (Kaution) of 1-3 months' rent, paid before move-in. Start searching 2-3 months before term begins.
- **Notes:** Akkon-Hochschule is listed by Studierendenwerk Berlin only for state student support (BAföG) processing, not for dormitory access, so students must arrange housing privately. There is no institutional dorm or formal housing office. Budget for Berlin's private shared-flat (WG) market and start searching 2-3 months before term.
