## About

Berlin offers an unmatched mix of culture, startup energy, cheap housing, and genuine international character. The city is perfect for students interested in social change, activism, arts, and politics. Rent can vary wildly by district, but many student areas remain affordable. Public transport is excellent, and the nightlife and café culture are legendary.

## Strengths

- Zero tuition for international students is exceptional for Germany, where many private institutions charge €10,000–20,000 per year.
- Fields — social work, health, education, and theology — are professionally in demand across Germany and the EU.
- An EU-accredited German degree gives access to the 18-month post-study job-seeker visa across the Schengen area.
- Berlin is Germany's largest city with a dense network of NGOs, hospitals, and social-sector employers for internships and graduate work.
- IELTS 6.0 entry threshold is accessible for CIS applicants with solid but not top-tier English preparation.
- Germany's 120 full-day or 240 half-day annual work allowance lets students earn income during their studies.

## Watch out for

- Most bachelor programmes in Germany — including at this institution — are taught in German, requiring C1 level for admission.
- Non-EU school leavers whose diploma is not directly recognised may need to complete a preparatory year (Studienkolleg) before enrolling.
- Germany requires proof of funds via a blocked account (Sperrkonto) of approximately €11,904 for the first year, a significant upfront commitment.
- Berlin has one of Germany's tightest student housing markets; finding affordable accommodation before arrival is genuinely difficult.
- Applied-sciences universities of this type typically have a narrower programme range than large research universities, limiting field switches later.

## 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:** EHB students are covered by the Studierendenwerk Berlin system for dormitory placement. Because EHB's campus is in Teltow, just outside the city, students should weigh commute time from any residence they are offered against studying at the Teltow site. Waiting times of 2-3 semesters are typical, so early application matters.
