## About

This university is in Berlin's Friedrichshain district, a neighbourhood that epitomises the city's post-industrial creative energy. The area is home to alternative galleries, street art, affordable housing, and a young, experimental spirit. Living costs here are among Berlin's lowest (€400–500/month), and the neighbourhood feels authentically bohemian.

## 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.
- An EU degree from a German Hochschule carries Schengen recognition and opens the EU labour market after graduation.
- Germany grants 18 months post-study job-seeker visa, giving graduates real time to find employment before committing to a country.
- Berlin is Germany's startup and tech capital, offering a dense internship and graduate-job market directly relevant to applied studies.
- Students may work 120 full days or 240 half days per year, allowing part-time income to offset living costs.
- The IELTS minimum of 6.0 is accessible for CIS applicants with B2-level English preparation.

## Watch out for

- Non-EU applicants must prove roughly €11,904 in a blocked account (Sperrkonto) before the visa is issued — a significant upfront cash requirement.
- CIS school-leaving certificates often require completion of a preparatory year (Studienkolleg) before direct bachelor admission, adding up to one year.
- Daily life and many administrative processes in Berlin run in German; limited German proficiency creates real practical friction.
- Berlin has a well-documented accommodation shortage; finding affordable student housing before arrival requires early and persistent effort.
- Law programmes in Germany are typically taught in German at bachelor level, so an English-only applicant may find programme access limited.
