What Other Universities do

 

You can study at a German university or school

 

Most universities in Berlin are German and require German language proficiency. Others may be schools offering undergraduate and postgraduate programmes via collaborations with external universities.

 

Provide less personal student support

 

Compared to Arden University, you may not get as many opportunities to meet with staff members who are passionate about your success.

 

Give you basic online resources

 

As one of the UK’s leading specialists in higher education, we have more to offer in terms of your study experience and student resources compared to most other universities.

 

Campus study mode

 

Most German universities rely on traditional lecture-based delivery, without a dedicated learning platform to support and structure your studies beyond the classroom.

 

Provide standard career development services

 

At other universities, you’ll have access to a range of career services, but Arden is unique in providing you with a designated study period each year focused on your employability and future career.
