HTW Berlin is a public university in Berlin and does not list tuition fees for its regular Bachelor's and Master's programmes; students pay only the semester contribution, and design programmes involve some material costs. The exceptions are the English-taught Advanced Master's programmes and International and Development Economics, which are fee-based. Professional IT Business and Digitalization costs 15,750 EUR for three semesters (2026 intake), MBA and Engineering in Life Science Management 18,500 EUR, and International and Development Economics charges a one-off service fee of 2,500 EUR for the 18-month programme. MBA and Engineering and Project Management and Data Science also charge tuition; check the amounts on their programme websites.

Every student in a full-time, on-campus programme pays a semester contribution of 375.30 EUR for winter 2026/27, which includes the Deutschlandsemesterticket for public transport across Germany.

For your student visa you also need to show 11,904 EUR for the year, usually in a blocked account, and that money has to be transferred months before the semester starts.

Applicants who are not EU or EEA citizens and obtained their school-leaving qualification or first degree outside Germany apply through uni-assist. For restricted Bachelor's programmes the uni-assist deadline is two weeks earlier than for German and EU applicants, who apply directly by 15 July or 15 January. English-taught programmes set their own dates on their programme websites.

10 programmes are taught in English. Bachelor's: International Business and Cyber Security and Business. Master's: International Business, Professional IT Business and Digitalization, MBA and Engineering, MBA and Engineering in Life Science Management, Project Management and Data Science, International and Development Economics, Dynamics of Renewables-Based Power Systems (an Erasmus Mundus joint Master's) and Applied Landscape and Field Archaeology (run jointly with Freie Universität Berlin). International Business and Cyber Security and Business are tuition-free; most English-taught Master's are fee-based. All other programmes are taught in German.
