Why study in Berlin?

Because Berlin is the best city in Europe for young people!

The organization "Youthful Cities" recently named Berlin the best city in Europe for young people. Jobs, public transport, internet connection as well as the local film and music scene were all assessed as part of the rating. Berlin has a lot to offer in every aspect. Adding to its appeal is the mix of different cultures and people from all around the world. But the truly special thing about Berlin is that it still has a small town feeling: Every district has its own neighborhood and unique flair. That makes it perfect for those who want to both study and get a taste of life after finishing high school.

Even more great reasons to study at the bbw University of Applied Sciences in Berlin:

Affordable cost of living: Life in Berlin is cheaper for students than many other German cities.
Exciting student life: The countless bars, pubs and clubs in Berlin make for its legendary nightlife. During the day you can relax in any one of the city's affordable and stylish cafés. Or you can head to the more unusual locations like the Mauerpark in Prenzlauer Berg, the beach bars in Mitte, or the Badeschiff in Treptow.
Music Mecca: Berlin is known worldwide for its electric, techno and house music scene. Some of the best DJs have played here, and many record companies produce their major hits in the city.
Fashion City: You can see it on the streets and in stores: the trends of tomorrow. Luxury and glamor can be seen side by side with new looks that challenge the status quo. The diversity here has made the city's fashion scene internationally renowned.
Arts & Culture: The art scene in Berlin is constantly buzzing. Thousands of exhibitions, an impressive array of museums and cultural centers as well as innovative galleries tucked away in quiet courtyards and multicultural weekend markets are all waiting to be discovered.
Nature: It may be hard to believe, but Berlin is the greenest metropolis in the world! No other city has as many parks, forests, meadows, canals, rivers and lakes as the German capital.
