No semester contribution is published. The programme pages carry no academic year for the prices, so confirm the current fees with S-Next before you apply.
On top of tuition, you need proof of funds for the student visa: 11,904 EUR for the year, usually in a blocked account.
What are the application deadlines?
S-Next publishes no application deadline. Programmes start four times a year, in October, January, April and July, and admission is rolling. International applicants apply directly through the S-Next admissions portal; there is no uni-assist step. S-Next's international team offers visa guidance, housing and onboarding support.
| Degree | Intake | Deadline (non-EU) |
|---|---|---|
| B.A. Business Administration, Berlin | October, January, April, July | No fixed deadline |
| Master's (MBA, M.Sc., M.A.), Berlin | October, January, April, July | No fixed deadline |
Because the visa process takes several months, apply well before your chosen intake and confirm the latest application date for your start with S-Next (studentadvisory@steinbeis-next.de).
