How much does Health Innovation University of Applied Sciences cost for international students?

Health Innovation University is a private, state-recognised university and charges tuition for every programme, paid in monthly instalments, the same for EU and non-EU students. On top come a one-off registration fee and a one-off examination fee. The university publishes no separate semester contribution. For both English Master's programmes, the university advertises scholarships of up to 25 percent of tuition, for example a discount for paying a year in advance; check the current offer for your intake.

Fees as published on the programme pages in October 2026; the university gives no validity year, so confirm them with admissions before you apply.

If you need a visa, apply at least four to six months before your intake and confirm the timing with admissions.

How many programmes are taught in English?

Two full-time, on-campus Master's programmes in Berlin are taught in English: Digital Health (M.Sc.) and Health Care Education and Educational Management (M.A.). Both require English at IELTS 6.0 or TOEFL iBT 80. Three further English Master's programmes are listed but not yet approved: Physiotherapy (M.Sc., in accreditation), Organisational Psychology and Nursing (M.Sc., in state approval and accreditation). The Bachelor's programmes labelled "de/en" are taught in German according to their programme pages, and most German-taught Bachelor's run part-time on weekends, which does not support a student visa.
