Busting financial barriers for our students
Arden University now extends scholarships and offers to new international students applying for select undergraduate and postgraduate programmes at our Berlin study centre.
As a career focused, global university, we hope these scholarships and offers will provide opportunities for students to join us who face more barriers and would otherwise be unable to study at Arden University, or overseas.
As the world of work changes to become increasingly more global, our goal for these scholarships is to enable all our Berlin students to form global networks - which will serve them in their future lives and careers.
You can receive a maximum of ONE scholarship/offer per programme you complete at Arden University, subject to you meeting our entry requirements, and that you provide all the supporting documentation requested.
Scholarships and offers will be applied to your tuition fees at Arden on a prorated basis throughout the duration of your studies. The discount will be applied to reflect the percentage discounted from your agreed fees to any payment plan you choose to enter, or if you choose to pay your fees annually or in one go.
The value of the scholarship is never more than the value of your tuition and varies depending on your geography and your level of study.
Please be aware that at the moment we don‘t provide scholarships or offers that cover 100% of the tuition fees.
Recipients of an Arden University scholarship or offer are expected to act as ambassadors for Arden, and where possible are encouraged to engage with outreach, alumni, and marketing initiatives.
Please read terms and conditions of Arden University tuition scholarships and regional offers for the full regulations.

Frequently asked questions
The scholarship scheme was set up to expand the diversity of our student population’s home nations in order to enrich the student experience for everyone who chooses to study with us.
At Arden, we put the career aspirations of our students first, and recognise that business and commerce is increasingly global. Therefore, we believe that building global connections across our students is highly valuable.
We hope that the Arden scholarships will provide opportunities to students who face more barriers and would otherwise be unable to take advantage of the learning opportunities offered by Arden University, or those afforded to students who study overseas.
The model offered by Arden University is known as blended learning, and includes campus learning and online learning. Students are expected to attend the study centre in Berlin two days a week, and the rest of their learning is completed online at a time that suits them.
This enables students, should they so wish, to work alongside their studies.
At this time, we are unable to offer financial support towards living costs and visas to our students, but hope that our flexible learning model will enable as many students as possible to join us.
Students can study any of the on-campus courses that are available through Arden University Berlin. This includes both graduate and postgraduate courses in a range of subjects including business, accounting, tourism, engineering, IT, project management and our Master of Business Administration.
The full programme list and more details of our study centre in Germany are available here.
