Applications go straight to BSBI through its own online application (the same steps appear on each programme page); there is no uni-assist step, because no German degree is awarded.

No BSBI page mentions the APS certificate for Indian applicants, and none of the 46 programme pages lists it among the required documents. Applicants should assume the German mission's own rules apply and check with the APS office.

BSBI runs no Studienkolleg and no pre-master course. Its preparatory offer is the Integrated Foundation Year / International Route inside the bachelor's degrees, which leads into the foreign bachelor's degree and is not a German Studienkolleg.

BSBI has no International Office. Visa and immigration questions go to its Visa Office (visaguidance@berlinsbi.com), and BSBI says legal and visa support is provided through the law firm SERS RECHTSANWALTSGES GmbH and covered by the standard administrative fees.

Tuition for non-EU students

Tuition does not depend on nationality: BSBI charges the same fee to EU and non-EU students. Berlin: €10,425 per year for bachelor's programmes, €14,425 for most master's programmes, €15,525 for the Global MBA, €19,440 for the Concordia MBA. Hamburg: €10,425 per year for bachelor's programmes and €13,920 for most master's programmes, with two offers at €9,200 and €8,943 valid until 18 January 2027. On top of tuition come a one-off €850 university registration fee and an €89 technology provision fee.

The programme pages say the same, e.g. “International/Expat/EU students: €14,425”. Discounts of up to 50% (bachelor's) and 40% (master's) are advertised for early or full payment. Instalment plans cost €300 (up to 6 instalments) or €500 (7–10 instalments) extra.

BSBI charges no semester contribution (Semesterbeitrag) and students get no Studentenwerk semester ticket: the Germany fees page lists tuition plus an €850 university registration fee and an €89 technology provision fee as the only mandatory charges, and BSBI is not a German Hochschule, so it has no Studentenwerk and no student body levy. No page states an amount, so nothing is recorded as a value.

Other compulsory fees

“MANDATORY FEES … €89 Technology Provision Fee … €850 University Registration Fee (all partners) … Technology fee is per academic year . Only once if program length is 18-months or less”

www.berlinsbi.com/study-in-germany-with-bsbi/fees · checked 7 November 2026

These are the only two charges the Germany fees page lists as mandatory, and both apply to EU and non-EU students alike. Two further charges every applicant meets are recorded elsewhere: BSBI's FAQ states that “upon conclusion of the Study Contract, an administrative fee of 150 EUR applies for the application process” (see each programme's applicationFee), and that a deposit is due on accepting an offer, without naming an amount. The page's “FEES FOR ADDITIONAL SERVICES” block (graduation, deferral, instalment plans, German classes, certificate duplicates) is not recorded here because those charges are optional or situational.

Tuition per programme is listed with each programme below.

State recognition

No BSBI page claims state recognition (staatliche Anerkennung) in Germany, and none was found from the Berlin Senate, the Wissenschaftsrat or the Akkreditierungsrat. BSBI's own FAQ states the opposite: “No, the Berlin School of Business and Innovation (BSBI) is not a university. It is a private higher education institution that offers undergraduate, postgraduate and doctorate programmes in partnership with accredited universities.” and “it does not independently award German degrees”, which is why it is not listed on hochschulkompass.de. The legal notice names it as a GmbH (Handelsregister HRB 190515 B, Amtsgericht Charlottenburg), not a Hochschule.

Institutional accreditation

• www.berlinsbi.com/about-us/

No institutional or programme accreditation of BSBI itself in Germany was found. BSBI's FAQ says: “No, BSBI programmes are not accredited by FIBAA.” Its awards page lists only prizes and memberships (PRME Champion, AMBA/BGA and QS Reimagine Education awards), which are not accreditation. Accreditation sits with the five awarding universities.

Who awards the degree

Five foreign universities award the degrees, depending on the programme: University for the Creative Arts (UK, OfS-registered, UKPRN 10006427), University of Chichester (UK, OfS-registered, UKPRN 10007137), University of Roehampton London (UK, OfS-registered, UKPRN 10007776), Concordia University Chicago (USA, accredited by the Higher Learning Commission) and Università Telematica Internazionale UNINETTUNO (Italy). BSBI teaches; the partner awards the degree.

“All degrees awarded at BSBI come from accredited and recognized partner universities. … Università Telematica Internazionale UNINETTUNO (Italy) – state-recognised and accredited by the Italian Ministry of Education. Concordia University Chicago (United States) – fully accredited by the Higher Learning Commission (HLC). University of Roehampton London (United Kingdom) – recognised public British University with a strong academic profile. University for the Creative Arts (United Kingdom) – recognised public British University leading institution in art and design. University of Chichester (United Kingdom) – recognised public British University with TEF Gold high teaching quality in business, education, and creative studies.”

Which university awards which degree is on each programme's page and in its programmeAccreditation entry. The three UK partners are on the Office for Students register as “Registered” in the category “Approved (fee cap)” with research degree-awarding powers (UCA 1992, Roehampton 1998, Chichester 2014). UCA's own partnerships page lists the BSBI courses it validates; Roehampton's own partner list calls its three Berlin and its Hamburg programmes a “franchise arrangement”; Chichester's overseas-providers page names BSBI as a partner but lists no programmes. Note for applicants: the UNINETTUNO master's degrees are Italian “Master di Primo Livello” qualifications and BSBI's FAQ states that such a degree “does not automatically guarantee direct entry into a doctoral or PhD programme”.

anabin status of the awarding university

All five awarding universities are listed in anabin (KMK/ZAB) with status H+: University for the Creative Arts, University of Chichester, Roehampton University (anabin still uses that former name for the University of Roehampton London), Concordia University, Chicago and Università Telematica Internazionale "Uninettuno". H+ means the institution is recognised as a higher education institution in its own country.

Read on 2026-11-08 from anabin's public, unauthenticated JSON API, which anabin's own web app calls (the endpoint is in its bundle at https://anabin.kmk.org/public/dist/index.js: GET /api/public/institution/<id>?reference=true, and GET /api/public/institution?search=...&reference=true to find an id). The HTML pages at anabin.kmk.org render institutions with JavaScript and return no data, which is why they were quoted as unavailable before. anabin hangs the status off the institution's type, so each quote runs from the institution's name to the nameShort of its type's status - the "H+" anabin displays for that institution. The status describes the awarding university, NOT BSBI: BSBI is not an anabin institution, and H+ says nothing about whether a particular degree is recognised in Germany, which the ZAB decides case by case. The look-up confirms BSBI's own FAQ claim “All our University partners are listed in the Anabin system in Germany with H+.” Names in anabin differ from BSBI's: Roehampton is “Roehampton University” (a second, separate record exists for “Digby Stuart College / University of Roehampton”, also H+), and Concordia is “Concordia University, Chicago”.
