## About

Berlin-Wedding is a mixed district, formerly working-class, now gentrifying slowly. Student life is real here — bars, kebab shops, cheap secondhand furniture markets. The city centre is a 20-minute U-Bahn ride away. Housing and food are significantly cheaper than in the western districts, which matters over four years.

## Strengths

- No tuition is charged, even for non-EU students — the university collects only a semester contribution of ≈€648 per year for administration and student services.
- As a public university of applied sciences, it focuses on practical engineering, IT, and economics skills that employers directly value.
- Berlin is Germany's largest tech and startup hub, offering abundant internships and part-time roles in your field.
- An EU-accredited German degree is recognised across Schengen countries and strengthens visa pathways throughout Europe.
- Germany grants 18 months post-study job-seeker visa, giving graduates time to secure work without leaving the country.
- International students may work up to 120 full days or 240 half-days per year, helping offset living costs in Berlin.

## Watch out for

- Most bachelor programmes at German Fachhochschulen are taught in German; a C1 level is typically required, which demands significant preparation time.
- Non-EU school leavers whose diploma is not directly recognised will likely need to pass an entrance year (Studienkolleg) before admission.
- You must show approximately €11,904 in a German blocked account (Sperrkonto) before the visa is issued — a substantial upfront cash requirement.
- Berlin has a severe student housing shortage; finding affordable accommodation near campus can take months and requires early planning.
- IELTS 6.0 is the stated minimum, but competitive applicants often present stronger profiles; meeting the floor does not guarantee admission.
