## About

DHGS is based in Berlin, one of Europe's healthiest cities in terms of sports infrastructure and fitness culture. The city is young, affordable, and has a dense network of gymnasiums, CrossFit boxes, and running clubs—perfect if you're choosing this school partly for the lifestyle. Getting internships in the city's sports scene is realistic.

## Strengths

- At €7,200 per year, tuition is moderate for a German private university in health and sport fields.
- An IELTS 6.0 entry threshold is accessible for most CIS applicants with standard preparation.
- A German university diploma is EU-recognised, supporting career mobility across 27 member states.
- Berlin's large economy and startup scene creates strong internship and employer networks in health and sport sectors.
- After graduation, Germany offers an 18-month job-seeker visa to find employment without leaving the country.
- International students in Germany may work up to 120 full days or 240 half days per year alongside studies.

## Watch out for

- This is a private university — public German universities often charge no tuition for non-EU students outside Baden-Württemberg, making €7,200 a real opportunity cost.
- Before applying, non-EU school leavers may need to complete a preparatory year (Studienkolleg) or have a recognised university entrance qualification.
- Germany requires proof of funds via a blocked account (Sperrkonto) of around €11,904 for a student visa — a significant upfront capital requirement.
- Daily life and administration in Berlin are primarily in German; limited German proficiency creates friction outside the classroom.
- Berlin has a well-documented housing shortage; finding affordable student accommodation can take months and requires early action.

## Accommodation

- **University dormitory:** no
- **Private housing:** €600–680
- **Rent figures describe:** the city of Berlin
- **How to apply:** No housing office or portal; students search the open Berlin rental market (WG-Gesucht, ImmoScout24) independently. Standard private deposits apply (1-3 months' rent) — start early given DHGS's small local footprint.
- **Notes:** DHGS operates no dormitory and offers no formal housing support beyond general advice to search early. It is not on Studierendenwerk Berlin's dorm-eligible list, so all students rely on the private rental market. Sport-science students should budget extra time given DHGS's smaller Berlin campus and limited local student-housing infrastructure.
