The Berlin School of Economics and Law (BSEL) was founded in 2009 through a merger with FHVR Berlin, a University of Applied Sciences for Administration and Law. The BSEL decisively strengthens the capital’s position as a location for tertiary level education and research.

The BSEL is one of the largest universities of applied sciences in Berlin, offering courses in private and public sector business administration, economics and administration, law and security management.

Berlin is an easy city to enjoy, with great infrastructure and seamless public transport. Whether it's summer or winter, Berlin offers a packed social calendar, from clubs to theatre and fringe shows. It has become one of Europe's main nightlife hotspots.

Berlin’s burgeoning creative atmosphere has become its defining characteristic. The diverse avant-garde art scene in Berlin-Mitte and Prenzlauer Berg, and increasingly in Friedrichshain, has attracted an array of low-budget bars, gastropubs and restaurants.

Berlin is also one of Europe's greenest cities. It has 2500 public parks and gardens, so you can comfortably unwind among the bustle of Berlin’s city streets.

Students in Berlin not only get a fantastic deal on public transport with the BVG semester ticket, but also great reductions on a host of other leisure activities too. All you need is your student ID to receive these discounts.
