We offer a number of Master’s programmes completely in English.
There are many advantages of studying at USBE and for EU/EEA and Switzerland citizens, in addition to receiving a high-quality education one is that there are no tuition fees. Further, German students do not need to take the TOEFL test. (Remember also as a German student you can get Auslands-BAföG for studying abroad on Master level).
