## About

Berlin's healthcare sector is sprawling — world-class hospitals (Charité, Vivantes), biotech research, and emerging health tech startups. The city's scale means endless internship and job opportunities in clinical, research, and business roles. Student life is unconventional and affordable; the city feels young despite its history.

## Strengths

- At €7,200 per year, tuition is low by German private-university standards, making it more accessible than many comparable private health schools.
- Medicine and health programmes at a Berlin institution put you inside Germany's largest city and its dense network of clinics, hospitals, and biotech employers.
- Germany's EU diploma is recognised across all 27 member states, giving graduates broad labour-market access beyond Germany itself.
- After graduation, German law allows an 18-month job-seeker visa to find employment, with no need to leave the country.
- During studies, international students may work up to 120 full days or 240 half days per year, supporting living costs in a structured way.
- Berlin's size and international character ease daily life for CIS students, with large Russian- and Ukrainian-speaking communities already present.

## Watch out for

- Public universities in Germany typically charge little or no tuition for non-EU students (except Baden-Württemberg), so €7,200 per year is a real cost premium over the free alternative.
- Before enrolling, non-EU school leavers without a recognised university entrance qualification must usually complete a bridging programme (Studienkolleg), adding one year and costs.
- Germany requires proof of funds via a blocked account (Sperrkonto) of approximately €11,904 for a one-year residence permit, which must be secured before the visa is issued.
- Berlin is one of Germany's most expensive rental markets; student accommodation is scarce and finding affordable housing often takes months of active searching.
- Daily life, government offices, and clinical placements in Germany operate predominantly in German, creating a practical language barrier even for English-taught degree holders.
