Touro University Berlin
About
Touro University Berlin in Berlin offers business, psychology and cybersecurity programmes — from €11,200/year, with an IELTS 6.5 entry bar. Programmes are taught fully in English, removing the language barrier, with strong internship access in Berlin's tech scene. The degree is EU-recognised, and Germany's 18-month post-study job-seeker visa gives graduates real time to convert study into a career.
Berlin offers the creative lifestyle costs (€600–900/month shared) combined with a serious business and tech sector — the city hosts hundreds of startups and corporate offices. For a student focused on business, psychology, or cybersecurity rather than arts, this gives you a professional network edge: internships in real companies happen year-round, and many students do their practicums before graduation.

Accommodation
Touro University Berlin, a small US-accredited graduate school, has no confirmed on-campus dormitory based on its official site or Studierendenwerk Berlin's list — third-party aggregator claims of on-campus housing likely conflate it with Touro's US campuses. Students should plan for Berlin's private rental market and budget extra search time given the school's limited size and thin housing-support infrastructure.
SourceScholarships
The only named institutional award, the 'Mission Tuition Scholarship' (~75%+ reduction), applies solely to MA Holocaust and Tolerance Studies — a program excluded from this dataset entry (online-first, unconfirmed visa eligibility) — so it does not apply to any of the 5 included programs. No dedicated scholarship page exists on touroberlin.de (404); a third-party tracker (mystipendium.de) states Touro previously participated in Deutschlandstipendium but is 'currently no longer being awarded' — not confirmed on the university's own site.
National funding for this destination
Honestly
Why this works
- At €11,200/year tuition is notable for a private Berlin university, though still higher than most German public institutions.
- Business, psychology, and cybersecurity programmes are taught in English, removing the language barrier for CIS applicants.
- An IELTS minimum of 6.5 is accessible for prepared CIS students without requiring top-tier scores.
- A German degree carries EU recognition, opening graduate pathways across all 27 EU and Schengen member states.
- Berlin's economy hosts major tech and startup hubs, giving students in business and cybersecurity strong internship access.
- Germany grants an 18-month post-study job-seeker visa, letting graduates stay and find work after finishing their degree.
What to check
- Tuition at €11,200/year is significantly higher than German public universities, which often charge no tuition for non-EU students outside Baden-Württemberg.
- Germany requires a blocked account (Sperrkonto) of approximately €11,904 per year as proof of funds before a student visa is issued.
- Daily life and many administrative processes in Berlin are conducted in German, creating a practical language barrier regardless of programme language.
- Non-EU school leavers without a recognised university-entrance qualification may need to complete a Studienkolleg foundation year before admission.
- Berlin has a well-documented student accommodation shortage; finding affordable housing before arrival is competitive and time-consuming.
