What it costs
MSB is a private university and charges tuition fees for all programmes. Exact per-semester or per-year amounts differ by programme and were not published in plain text on the official pages reviewed at the time of writing - applicants should request a current fee schedule from the admissions office. There is no general tuition-free public-university arrangement at MSB. Berlin state does not apply the non-EU surcharge that Baden-Württemberg or Bavaria introduced; however, as a private institution MSB sets its own fees independently of state policy.
Admission requirements
Admission requirements vary by programme level and subject. For bachelor's programmes, applicants generally need a German Abitur or a recognised equivalent school-leaving certificate; the university invites applicants with international qualifications to contact the admissions office or follow the dedicated international applicant pathway. For master's programmes, a recognised bachelor's degree in a relevant subject is required. Language requirements are programme-specific: German-taught programmes require proof of German proficiency (level not stated in plain text on official pages); English-taught programmes require proof of English proficiency. Indian, Chinese, and Vietnamese applicants must note that the APS (Akademische Prüfstelle) certificate is a standard German student-visa requirement for their nationalities, regardless of the university's own requirements - applicants should confirm the current APS position with the German Embassy and with MSB's admissions team. Applications are accepted year-round without fixed deadlines ('Bewerbungen sind bei uns jederzeit und ohne Fristen möglich').
Application deadlines
Degree programmes: rolling application via the online portals, admission interview, then study contract and enrolment. Incoming exchange students: 1 June for the winter semester / 1 December for the summer semester. Instruction language German (B2 CEFR required for incomings).
How international applicants apply
Not documented. MSB operates its own online application portals (Bachelor/Master portal and a separate Humanmedizin portal) with an interview-based admission procedure; no uni-assist cooperation is mentioned on the official application pages. Exchange ('incoming') students apply directly to the International Office by e-mail with transcript, learning agreement and B2 German proof.
Languages of instruction
Most programmes are taught in German. Confirmed English-taught programmes include Social Work B.A., Social Work M.A., Cognitive Neuroscience M.Sc., and Digital Health Management M.Sc. State examination programmes in Human Medicine (Humanmedizin) and Dentistry (Zahnmedizin) are delivered in German.
Entry requirements, intake dates and language levels differ for every degree.

Living in Berlin
Berlin is Germany's capital and largest city, home to around 3.7 million people and one of Europe's major academic and cultural centres. The city hosts over 70 higher-education institutions and a large international student community. Berlin is well served by public transport (U-Bahn, S-Bahn, buses, trams), offers a wide range of student housing options, and is notably more affordable than Munich or Hamburg. The Wilmersdorf district where MSB is located is a quiet, residential area of western Berlin with good connections to the city centre.
Student life & support
MSB provides an International Office that acts as the main contact point for international students and outgoing/incoming exchange participants. The office coordinates a Buddy Programme pairing international students with local peers, and offers tips for housing search. The university also operates a Career Center, a student council (Studierendenrat), a psychosocial counselling service, and sports facilities (Hochschulsport). Specific details on university-managed dormitories and German-language courses were not published on the official pages reviewed.
