Your Global Learning Journey
Living and studying in Berlin, Germany, provides a perfect balance of high-quality education and an enriching lifestyle. The city's welcoming attitude towards international students, coupled with relatively low tuition fees and numerous scholarship opportunities, makes it an affordable and attractive destination for higher education. EIIET offers this opportunity to students who want to enjoy their life while pursuing their studies.
Our Berlin campus is located in one of the historic districts of the city, surrounded by various industrial areas that open up a wide range of opportunities for students interested in exploring the history of Berlin’s development in the northeastern part of the city. Additionally, the campus is nestled amidst greenery, providing a peaceful environment ideal for studying. It features state-of-the-art technology, modern facilities, high-quality equipment, a student lounge, and a cafeteria serving authentic German cuisine.
Why Choose Berlin?
If you want to build something of your own, there is no better place to be. Berlin consistently ranks as one of the top cities for venture capital in Europe. The "Silicon Allee" isn't just a nickname; it’s a massive network of incubators, accelerators, and co-working spaces. You aren't just studying entrepreneurship here—you are living in the middle of it.

The "Silicon Allee" isn't just a nickname; it’s a massive network of incubators, accelerators, and co-working spaces. You aren't just studying entrepreneurship here—you are living in the middle of it.
Berlin is a "City of Science," home to dozens of world-class research institutions and think tanks. Studying here gives you proximity to the latest breakthroughs in your field, ensuring your education is grounded in the latest global trends.
One of the biggest anxieties for international students is what happens the day after graduation. In Germany, the transition is remarkably student-friendly. After you finish your degree, you are entitled to an 18-month job-seeker visa. The Advantage: You don't have to rush into the first job you find. You have a year and a half to live in Berlin, work any job to support yourself, and wait for the right professional offer that matches your degree. The Outcome: Once you find a role in your field, switching to a work permit or the EU Blue Card is a streamlined process. It’s a system designed to keep talent in the city, not push it out.
One of Berlin’s biggest advantages is its accessibility. Compared to other major hub like London your budget goes significantly further here. Affordability: Lower rent and daily living expenses mean less financial stress. Green Space: With over 2,500 public parks (like Tiergarten and Tempelhof), the city is designed for a healthy work-life balance. Connectivity: A world-class public transport system means you don't need a car to navigate the city or reach your internship.
The city’s economy is moving fast, particularly in the tech, media, and creative sectors. Major players like Tesla, Google, and Zalando have a massive presence here, alongside thousands of mid-sized "hidden gems."
Direct Access: We help you tap into this market through local career fairs and industry workshops.
Networking: The city’s professional scene is famously open. A "coffee chat" with a founder or a senior developer is a standard part of Berlin’s networking culture
In many cities, a "student job" means waiting tables. In Berlin, it usually means a Werkstudent (Working Student) position. The German system is specifically set up to let you work up to 20 hours a week in a role directly related to your studies.
- Professional Pay: These aren't just internships; they are paid positions (often starting at €14–€18/hour) where you are treated as a junior member of the team.
- Resume Building: By the time you graduate, you won't just have a degree—you’ll have two years of experience at a Berlin tech firm, a creative agency, or a global NGO.
- Networking on the Clock: Most of our students find their full-time roles through the companies where they started as working students. It’s the most natural way to build a professional network without having to "cold call" anyone.
One of the most "human" things about Berlin is its culture of acceptance. Unlike many traditional capitals where there is a pressure to "fit in" or speak the language perfectly from day one, Berlin is a city of outsiders.
- A Global Melting Pot: With residents from over 190 countries, you are never the "only" international person in the room. This diversity creates a massive, built-in support network of people who have been in your shoes.
- Safety and Inclusivity: Berlin is consistently ranked as one of the most inclusive cities in the world. Whether it’s the city’s proactive anti-discrimination policies or its world-famous LGBTQ+ friendliness, the environment is designed to let you focus on your studies without worrying about your safety or identity.
- Ease of Transition: Between the student-led "Nightlines" (peer support hotlines) and the International Student Offices found throughout the city, there is a dedicated infrastructure to help you navigate everything from culture shock to your first German tax ID. You’re moving to a city that is prepared for you.
Why Choose EIIET?
The Best of Berlin at Your Doorstep
Berlin isn't just where our campus is located; it’s your extended classroom. We chose this location because it puts you at the center of Europe’s most energetic capital. You aren’t just studying "innovation" in a vacuum—you’re a short U-Bahn ride away from the startups of Mitte and the corporate headquarters of global giants. Between classes, you’re steps away from world-class museums, historic landmarks, and the city’s famous café culture. Living here means you get to experience the "real" Berlin while building a professional network in one of the world's most stable economies.
Mentors, Not Just Lecturers
We believe that you can’t learn 21st-century business from 20th-century textbooks alone. Our faculty is a mix of career academics and active industry leaders. These are people who have managed global supply chains, launched tech startups, and led marketing teams. They bring their "war stories" and real-world challenges into the classroom, giving you a behind-the-scenes look at how industries actually operate. You aren’t just a name on a roster; you’re learning from mentors who are invested in seeing you succeed in the professional world
Spaces Built for Work and Connection
Forget the image of dusty lecture halls. We’ve designed our campus to feel more like a modern co-working space than a traditional school. Our facilities are built for the way people actually work today—with high-speed tech, collaborative project zones, and quiet areas for deep focus. Whether you’re rehearsing a pitch in a high-tech seminar room or brainstorming with your team in one of our labs, you’re using the same kind of tools and environments you’ll find in top-tier corporate offices.
A Network That Spans the Globe
On your first day here, you might find yourself collaborating with classmates from five different continents. This diversity isn't just a "nice-to-have"—it’s a core part of your education. Working in such an international environment teaches you how to navigate different perspectives and communication styles, which is exactly what global employers are looking for. You’ll graduate not just with a degree, but with a contact list of friends and future colleagues that stretches across the world.
A Career Team That Actually Knows You
Finding a job in a new country can feel like a full-time job in itself. That’s why our career support is hands-on and personalized. We don't just hand you a list of job postings; we work with you to "German-proof" your CV, polish your interview technique, and connect you with internships that actually fit your goals. From hosting on-campus networking events to helping you navigate the local work-visa process, we’re here to make sure your transition from student to professional is as smooth as possible.
Student Guide
The "Anmeldung" is Your First Boss Fight
In Berlin, you aren't "officially" here until you have your Anmeldung (address registration). You need this piece of paper for everything: opening a bank account, getting a tax ID, and even joining a gym.
The Reality: Appointments at the Bürgeramt are notoriously hard to get.
The Tip: Refresh the official booking page at 7:30 AM or 8:00 AM on Tuesdays and Thursdays. That’s when they usually release cancellations for the same day. Don't wait—get this done the second you have a rental contract.

You’ll graduate not just with a degree, but with a contact list of friends and future colleagues that stretches across the world.
Your Student ID is a "Golden Ticket"
Your semester fee usually includes a "Semesterticket." This isn't just a plastic card; it’s your unlimited pass to the U-Bahn, S-Bahn, trams, and buses across the entire ABC zone (including the airport and Potsdam).
Pro Tip: Berlin’s public transport runs 24/7 on weekends. You never have to worry about the "last train" home on a Friday night. Download the VBB or BVG app immediately—Google Maps is okay, but the local apps are much more accurate for delays and platform changes.
The "Späti" is the Center of Social Life
In other cities, you meet at a bar. In Berlin, you meet at a Späti (late-night convenience store).
The Culture: People grab a drink, sit on the wooden benches outside, and chat for hours. It’s the cheapest way to socialize and the heart of every neighborhood (Kiez).
Sunday Rule: Almost all supermarkets are closed on Sundays in Germany. The Späti is your only hope if you run out of milk or snacks.

Prepare for "The Grey" (November to March)
No one tells you this in the highlights reel: Berlin winters are long, dark, and very grey.
The Strategy: Invest in a good coat and, more importantly, Vitamin D supplements. Germans take their "Gemütlichkeit" (coziness) seriously during these months. Find a favorite café with good lighting or a library where you feel comfortable.
The Payoff: When the first sunny day hits in April, the entire city undergoes a transformation. Everyone heads to the parks (like Tempelhof or Mauerpark) and the energy is incredible. You just have to earn it by surviving the winter.
