Application deadline: 30th April 2025 (recommended for all students applying from an EU member state)
Are you applying from the EU, and interested in studying at BIMM University Berlin?
From 30th April, you will still have five months before joining BIMM University’s student community and taking your first step towards life in the creative industries.
Tuition starts on the 29th September 2025. Enrolment takes place from late July onwards, and freshers and induction activities run from 15th September 2025. All students will receive their localised freshers and induction event schedule in the lead-up to the start of Semester 1.
Although this might sound like a lot of time, we recommend submitting your application by Wednesday 30th April 2025. Our application process includes meeting specific academic and English language entry requirements, plus successful completion of an interview for your chosen course.
Applying by the Recommended International Application Deadline allows you enough time to:
- Prepare and successfully complete an interview for your course of choice
- Arrange your English language test (if required)
- Plan your move to Berlin to begin your studies
Applying by 30th April also gives you enough time to listen to our lecturers’ advice, develop your skills, and work on your creative practice if advised following your interview. For all applications submitted by 30th April 2025, we can also guarantee availability on your chosen course.
Once you receive an offer from us, you’ll have the opportunity to schedule a personalised one-on-one meeting with a Course Leader. This meeting allows you to ask any questions, discuss your unique circumstances, and explore your study plans and career goals in depth.
We also recommend that all EU students review our Accommodation page for further useful advice on moving to Germany.
