## About

Eberswalde is a small town in Brandenburg, about 50 kilometres north of Berlin. Living costs are exceptionally low, and you're close enough to Berlin for weekend culture without the high rent. The town itself is quiet and focused on study, with parks and green spaces everywhere.

## Strengths

- Tuition is €0 per year for international students, making it one of the most affordable options in Germany.
- An IELTS 6.0 entry threshold is achievable for most CIS applicants with solid preparation.
- A German university diploma carries EU-wide recognition and opens doors across the Schengen area.
- Health and social fields have strong demand in Germany, with stable employment prospects after graduation.
- Germany grants graduates an 18-month job-seeker visa, giving real time to secure local employment.
- Eberswalde is a small city with a lower cost of living compared to Berlin, just 60 km away.

## Watch out for

- Most bachelor programmes in Germany are taught in German; daily life and studies require at least B2–C1 German.
- Non-EU school leavers often need to complete a preparatory year (Studienkolleg) before university admission — an extra 1–2 semesters.
- Germany requires proof of funds via a blocked account (Sperrkonto) of roughly €11,904 before a student visa is issued.
- As a small specialised institution in a small city, internship and networking opportunities are more limited than in major urban centres.
- Students may work only 120 full or 240 half days per year, capping part-time income during studies.

## Accommodation

- **University dormitory:** no
- **Private housing:** €360–420
- **Rent figures describe:** the city of Eberswalde
- **How to apply:** HGE has no institutional dormitory; students search the private rental market independently via portals such as WG-Gesucht and Wohnungsboerse. The university sends new students a housing-search flyer/guide and, if the Welcome Team is notified at least a week ahead, offers a train-station pickup, but does not place or guarantee accommodation.
- **Notes:** HGE is a private, state-recognized institution (dual-degree Nursing/Midwifery programs) and is NOT among the three universities officially served by Studierendenwerk Ost:Brandenburg — only HNEE, Europa-Universität Viadrina Frankfurt (Oder), and BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg are, per Brandenburg's Ministry of Science. Students must secure private housing before arrival; Eberswalde's rental market is small and competitive.
