Historical Background
The Protestant Fachhochschule Berlin (EFB) is a University
of Applied Sciences which was founded in 1971. It received
state recognition on February 17th, 1972.
It is an establishment maintained by the Protestant Church
in Berlin-Brandenburg with the status of a public corporate
body. Our Fachhochschule's particular tradition is that it
is the oldest church-supported educational institution for
Social Work in Germany
Degree Programmes
Through scientifically based teaching and research
the University of Applied Sciences provides academic training in three degree
programmes and one Bachelor study programme:
- Social Work
- Nursing Care Management
- Protestant Religious Education
- Bachelor of Nursing
Professional qualification is attained after eight semesters
(four years). The syllabus includes theoretical and practical
education. A completed degree at a Fachhochschule is awarded
as a "Diploma", which differs from a university diploma in that
it is attained at a Fachhochschule. The degrees of our
Fachhochschule are state approved.
The dual study programme "Bachelor of Nursing" is a full-time course
combining practical and theoretical units. It leads to the academic
degree "Bachelor of Science", as well as to a vocational German Nursing
qualification. This dual system of studies includes lectures,
given at the Evangelische Fachhochschule Berlin and practical
training which takes place exclusively at institutions which are
co-operation partners.
The learning of professional competence at the Evangelische
Fachhochschule Berlin is accompanied by the training of
the students' self-reflective, communicative and creative
abilities.
Through the Protestant character of the institution,
students are encouraged to reflect on the values and
beliefs which guide their professional work.
Members
At the moment there are 36 full-time
professors and 110
part-time teaching staff working at the EFB.
1141 students were enrolled in autumn 2008.

Information about the application procedure
Admission requirements
Foreign applicants should have the following qualifications:
- A higher education entrance qualification
- Proof of sufficient knowledge of German.
Applicants should also accept the Protestant character of
the Fachhochschule.
Applicants for Nursing Care Management and Protestant Religious
Education have to fulfil additional requirements.
Nursing Care Management: Applicants must have a degree in
Nursing and prove that they have had two years of full-time
employment.
Protestant Religious Education: Applicants must be members
of a Christian Church.
1. A higher education entrance qualification
Applicants of foreign origins must possess a higher education
entrance qualification. If the applicant's qualification
is recognized as equivalent to the German
qualification "Abitur", he/she can be directly admitted
to a course of study. If foreign applicants have an entrance
qualification that is only conditionally comparable to the
appropriate German qualification, they have to pass an assessment
test, the so-called Feststellungsprüfung, before they
can be admitted. Some Universities and Universities of applied science offer
courses that prepare for the Feststellungsprüfung. The
courses last one year and are called Studienkolleg. The Evangelische
Fachhochschule Berlin does not have a Studienkolleg.
Whether one's qualifications meet the requirements
for entrance to higher education depends on the assessment
of the following federal institution:
Zeugnisanerkennungsstelle der
Senatsverwaltung für Bildung, Jugend und Sport des Landes
Berlin
Beuthstraße 6 - 8
10117 Berlin
Germany
Please send certified copies translated into German.
Copies of documents in English or French can be send without
translation.
This institution will issue a certificate, if it recognizes
your entrance qualification as appropriate. This certificate
is necessary for the application.
2. Proof of sufficient knowledge of German
Foreign applicants have to prove sufficient knowledge of
German before commencing their studies. They must take the
German language proficiency test for admission to higher education
called „Deutsche Sprachprüfung für den Hochschulzugang
ausländischer Studienbewerber (DSH)".
Applicants may be exempted from this test, if they meet
one of the following requirements:
- they have passed the assessment test for the admission
to higher education in Germany (the so called Feststellungsprüfung)
at a German Studienkolleg
- they have the „Deutsche Sprachdiplom der Kultusministerkonferenz
- Zweite Stufe"
- they have a certificate that you passed the Zentrale
Oberstufenprüfung (ZOP) of the Goethe-Institute
- they passed the „US-Advanced-Placement-Prüfung
(AP-Prüfung) subject German
- they have taken German as a part of the French „Diplome
du Baccalauréat", in bilingual German-French
Secondary Education
The German language proficiency test „Deutsche Sprachprüfung
für den Hochschulzugang ausländischer Studienbewerber"
can be taken, for instance, at the Humboldt-Universität
in Berlin, Sprachenzentrum, Bereich Deutsch als Fremdsprache,
Bebelplatz 1, 10117 Berlin (++49 / 030 - 2093 - 3470). The
fee for the test is € 40,-. The postal address is: Humboldt-Universität,
Sprachenzentrum, Bereich Deutsch als Fremdsprache, Reinhardtstr.
7, 10117 Berlin.
Further information on the language tests of the Goethe-Institute
can be obtained from the Goethe-Institut Berlin, Friedrichstraße
209, 10969 Berlin or other Goethe-Institutes near you.
Further information on visa requirements
In order to enter the Federal Republic of Germany as a foreign
student or study applicant you require a residence
permit/visa for study purposes issued by the diplomatic or the consular
representation of the Federal Republic of Germany in your
country of origin. The visa has to be stamped in your passport.
This does not apply to EU countries and to countries with
whom different regulations have been agreed: Honduras, Iceland,
Liechtenstein, Monaco, Norway, San Marino, Switzerland and
the USA. You can also apply for a student's applicant visa, which
gives you the opportunity to enter the country without admission
and to stay three months in Germany to fulfil any conditions which
are still required for admittance to a degree program.
For further information please contact the diplomatic or consular
representation of the Federal Republic of Germany in your
home country. Representatives of the DAAD or the Goethe-Institute
in your home country can also give you more information.
