## About

Berlin attracts health and social services professionals globally, with strong institutional frameworks and international workplace cultures. The city's diverse demographics and scale of healthcare and social organisations make it ideal for students building careers in these sectors.

## Strengths

- At €6,600/year, tuition is moderate for a private German university in a major European capital.
- Health and social sciences are high-demand fields across the EU, supporting strong graduate employability.
- A German university degree carries EU recognition, opening labour markets across 27 member states.
- Berlin is Germany's largest city with a dense healthcare sector and abundant internship opportunities.
- Germany grants up to 18 months post-study job-seeker visa, giving graduates time to secure local employment.
- An IELTS 6 entry requirement is attainable for most prepared CIS applicants without exceptional scores.

## Watch out for

- This is a private university — public German universities often charge no tuition for non-EU students outside Baden-Württemberg, making €6,600/year a real cost comparison point.
- Germany requires proof of funds via a blocked account (Sperrkonto) of around €11,904 for one year before a student visa is issued.
- Non-EU school leavers without a recognised university entrance qualification may need to complete a preparatory year (Studienkolleg) before admission.
- Daily life, clinical placements, and many administrative processes in Berlin require functional German, even if core courses are taught in English.
- Berlin has a well-documented student accommodation shortage; finding affordable housing near campus can take months and requires early planning.

## Scholarships

- **Note:** No institution-run scholarship or Deutschlandstipendium participation found on the official financing page (hi-university.de/contact/financing); only a tuition-deferral 'Halved Tuition Plan' (50% fee reduction with doubled repayment term + 5% interest, not a grant) and pointers to external Begabtenförderungswerke/DAAD programs.
- **Researched:** 2026-07

## Accommodation

- **University dormitory:** no
- **Private housing:** €600–680
- **Rent figures describe:** the city of Berlin
- **How to apply:** Book directly through the university's recommended partners — STUWO (furnished student residences), BerliNovo, WG-Gesucht, Move In Berlin, or general portals like ImmoScout24/Immonet — via the Accommodation Support page. No institutional dorm or single portal; timelines and deposits follow each partner's own terms.
- **Notes:** IB Hochschule (rebranded Health Innovation University) does not operate its own dormitory but runs a structured accommodation-support service recommending STUWO furnished student residences, BerliNovo apartments, and WG-Gesucht for shared flats. It appears on Studierendenwerk Berlin's list for state student support (BAföG) purposes only, not for dorm access. Furnished dorm-style rooms run cheaper than typical WGs, making them worth checking first.
