## About

Berlin is Germany's startup and fintech capital, with a density of young companies, co-working spaces, and networking events you won't find elsewhere in the country. The city is cheap by Western European standards, the student scene is vibrant (political, artistic, nightlife), and English is widely spoken. It's genuinely alive in a way that appeals to ambitious international students.

## Strengths

- EU-recognised business degree from Berlin opens hiring across all 27 Schengen member states.
- Germany's 18-month post-study job-seeker visa gives substantial time to land a graduate role after finishing.
- Berlin is Germany's startup and fintech capital, offering dense business internship and networking opportunities.
- A single business-focused field of study means the academic environment is concentrated and professionally oriented.
- IELTS 6.5 entry threshold is accessible for well-prepared CIS applicants without a very high score.
- After graduation, international students may work up to 120 full days per year, supporting income during studies.

## Watch out for

- Tuition of €18,000 per year is high for Germany, where public universities charge little or nothing for non-EU students outside Baden-Württemberg.
- Germany requires proof of funds via a blocked account (Sperrkonto) of roughly €11,904 for one year before the visa is issued.
- Daily life in Berlin and most German workplaces operates in German; limited German proficiency will restrict social integration and many job options.
- Non-EU school leavers whose secondary diploma is not directly recognised may need to complete a preparatory year (Studienkolleg) before starting degree studies.
- Berlin has a severe student housing shortage; finding affordable accommodation near campus can take months and requires early action.
