## About

Berlin is one of Europe's most affordable major cities for students, with living costs around €700–850/month. The social and health sectors are major employers, and the city has extensive networks of social workers, healthcare professionals, and NGOs. There are internships and part-time jobs throughout the public health and education systems.

## Strengths

- Tuition is €0 per year, making it one of the most affordable university options in Germany for non-EU students.
- Berlin is Germany's student capital with a vast internship and social-sector job market directly relevant to social work, health, and education fields.
- An EU-accredited degree opens access to the 18-month German job-seeker visa after graduation.
- Students can work up to 120 full days or 240 half-days per year, offsetting living costs during studies.
- The IELTS minimum of 6.0 is accessible for well-prepared CIS applicants without requiring advanced English.
- Berlin's cost of living, while rising, remains lower than Munich or Frankfurt, easing financial pressure.

## Watch out for

- You must open a German blocked account (Sperrkonto) with approximately €11,904 to prove financial means for a student visa.
- Many bachelor programmes in social work and education in Germany are taught in German, so check language of instruction carefully before applying.
- Non-EU school leavers whose qualifications are not directly recognised may need to complete a preparatory course (Studienkolleg) before admission.
- Berlin has a severe student housing shortage; finding affordable accommodation close to campus can take months of advance planning.
- Fields like social work and education have regulated graduate salaries in Germany, which may limit early-career earnings compared to engineering or IT graduates.

## Accommodation

- **University dormitory:** yes
- **Dormitory cost:** €280–350
- **Private housing:** €600–680
- **Rent figures describe:** the city of Berlin
- **How to apply:** Apply exclusively via Studierendenwerk Berlin's online Housing Portal (stw.berlin/en/housing) once you have an admission/enrollment confirmation — there is no separate institution-specific portal. A deposit of 1.5× monthly rent is required before move-in. Waiting times run 2-3+ semesters (often 12+ months) due to high demand, so apply the moment you are admitted.
- **Notes:** ASH Berlin students are eligible for Studierendenwerk Berlin's citywide dormitory system, the same 25+ residence network used by FU, HU and TU Berlin. ASH also holds a small reserved contingent of rooms in the Victor Jara residence, about 25 minutes from campus, sometimes prioritized for exchange and international students. Demand far exceeds supply, so apply as soon as you have an admission letter.
