Living in Berlin

Berlin is Germany's capital and largest city, with a population of approximately 3.7 million. It is one of Europe's most affordable major capitals and hosts around 200,000 students across more than 30 higher-education institutions. The city offers an extensive public transport network (U-Bahn, S-Bahn, tram, bus), a vibrant cultural scene, and a large international community, making it particularly accessible for non-German-speaking students. Berlin's cost of living is lower than Munich or Hamburg, though housing demand is high and students are advised to begin flat-hunting well in advance.

Student life & support

The International Office (email: [email protected], phone: +49 30 206176-63) provides support with applications, visa and health-insurance guidance, and accommodation referrals.
