SRH Hochschule Berlin

SRH Berlin is a German university and it evaluates a 3-year Indian degree differently from the 4-year Indian UG degree.

In general, a 4-year degree offers a smoother path,  while 3-year degrees may require foundation courses to meet credit requirements.

For a master's degree, look at the given guidelines - 

• A four-year UG degree is fully recognised (treated as a German UG degree)
• For 3-year degrees, the applicants may need outstanding scores, a preparatory course, and the degrees evaluated via the Anabin Database.

As per the official website of the SRH Berlin University of Applied Sciences, to admit Indian students, it uses a hybrid admissions process where the given application factors are reviewed - 

• Baseline eligibility 
• Motication checks
• Interview

If you meet the given criteria, your application will be reviewed but the final call will be made on your interview performance (it works as the final filter). 

The Winter intake starting in the month of October at the SRH Berlin University of Applied Sciences is the most popular as it offers the the highest range of courses, including MBA, Data Science, Business and IT.

These are the core courses of SRH Berlin and are offered in the April (Summer) intake too. 

Ideally, Indian students should start their SRH Berlin application process at least 6 to 8 months in advance to be able to match the timeline of the Winter intake admissions at SRH University.  

A very important thing is to consider getting an APS certificate and also a German student visa. And this takes time.  

Look at the suggested timeline - 

• For the winter semester, apply by May 31. 
• For the summer semester, apply by Nov 30.

As per an unofficial source, the Winter intake is the main intake with the maximum number of courses available at SRH Berlin. 

SRH has many entry points during the year across multiple campuses but the Winter campus which begins in October, remains the default one.  

In this intake only, a vast number of English-taught programs are available for admission. 

In total, around 16K students are studying at SRH universities (as per an official source). But only 2k at the SRH Berlin University of Applied Sciences. 

The SRH Hochschule acceptance rate is around 50 to 55% which makes the SRH admissions a little difficult. 

Indian students need to meet the given requirements to get in -

• Higher secondary certificate
• English language proficiency
• Interview

Undoubtedly, SRH Hochschule is a very practical option for Indian students who do not meet the strict admission requirements of German public universities (such as the APS certificate scores,  13 years of schooling and more). 

Although at the end of the day, it is a private institution and the students may have to compromise with the factors given below - 

• Tuition costs 
• Networking
• PSW job hunting
