Our many international students come from all over the world to pursue a highly valued (state and FIBAA recognised) German degree that is entirely taught in English.

 

Germany, known as the country of innovators, is the perfect place to get your degree. Germany is the largest economic power and the center of high tech and automotive technologies in Europe. Additionally, Germany is a particularly safe and livable country with relatively low tuition fees and affordable living costs. Furthermore, Berlin is known as Europe's startup capital, a magnet for creatives, and "place to be" for young people and entrepreneurs. That's why we encourage international students to come here and study with us. You can apply with your national school degree now. We will then take a look at your application and guide you through the process.

As a private university, University of Europe for Applied Sciences (UE) is funded not by the state, but by tuition fees. For this reason, studying at UE costs more than at a public university. But it’s worth it: Our graduates meet essential requirements of business, and this sets them apart from the graduates of many public universities. Your employment and earnings prospects are greatly improved. All costs are included in the monthly tuition fee. No additional costs will be incurred, such as a matriculation fee, exam fees, master thesis fee or similar, as long as the course is completed within the standard study period.

 

We are happy to provide you with information on funding your studies and on any available scholarships. If you have any further questions, our Student Guidance Office can provide you with detailed information. Find out useful information on this webpage.

The main skills required for sport, event, and marketing management are the ability to communicate, to think in an interdisciplinary way, and to lead a team. In addition, International Sport Management is geared toward leadership roles in sport, while International Event Management focuses on planning and organisational roles. International Marketing Management complements these two subject areas.

 

To reinforce the vocational focus, the programme was developed in conjunction with experts from Ernst & Young (SCORE – Sports Consulting), with the involvement of communication agencies. You are thus equipped with in-depth knowledge and practical experience to embark on your career. You will find out more information during our information events.

You can apply a year in advance for your desired starting semester. Students must meet the following requirements to qualify for the master’s degree programme:

 

  • Online application
