Evangelische Hochschule Berlin

What Evangelische Hochschule Berlin does

Evangelische Hochschule Berlin (EHB) is a state-recognized public university of applied sciences (Hochschule für Angewandte Wissenschaften) located in Berlin's Zehlendorf district, with institutional roots tracing back to 1900. The institution serves approximately 1,670 students across 6 Bachelor's and 5 Master's degree programs concentrated in the SAGE disciplines — Social Work (Soziale Arbeit), Health and Nursing (Gesundheit/Pflege), Education (Bildung/Erziehung), and Religious Pedagogy (Religion). Dual-study programs in Nursing and Midwifery integrate academic instruction with clinical practice at partner healthcare facilities, while additional offerings include continuing professional development through the Zentrum für Fort- und Weiterbildung (ZFW), interdisciplinary lectures via Studium Generale, and the "Gemeinsam weiterdenken hoch 6" podcast co-produced with other Berlin universities of applied sciences. The university maintains 65 international partner universities and a Berlin-wide network of practice placement partners coordinated through the Praxisamt.

The institution operates 64 full-time teaching faculty and 66 administrative and support staff, with governance led by President Prof. Dr. Sebastian Schröer-Werner and an academic senate. Core academic infrastructure is built on Microsoft 365 and MS Teams for digital and hybrid learning, supplemented by the HISinOne student information system (EHB-Portal), the sked campus timetable platform, and a proprietary Praxisstellendatenbank managing internship placements. The campus at Teltower Damm 118-122 comprises multiple buildings (A, C, D, E, F) housing lecture halls, library, skills labs, cafeteria (operated by studierendenWERK Berlin), and the Audimax auditorium. A CampusCard integrates student ID, canteen, library, and European Student Card functionality.

EHB's revenue model is anchored in state and federal public funding as a staatlich anerkannte Hochschule, supplemented by semester contribution fees (Semesterbeitrag) that include a public transport Semesterticket, and fee-based continuing education revenue through the ZFW division. Additional income flows through administration of the Deutschlandstipendium program (300 EUR/month per recipient, half from private sponsors, half federal), ancillary fees such as CampusCard replacement (10.50 EUR), and merchandise via the EHB-Hochschulshop. The institution is embedded in the SAGE BERLIN network of four church-related Berlin universities of applied sciences, holds membership in the RKHD association of 13 Berlin HAWs, and operates under Evangelical Church of Berlin-Brandenburg (EkBo) affiliations that channel students into religious education placements.

Expansion highlights6 records

Regional players

• Berliner Hochschule für Technik (BHT): Berlin HAW and RKHD consortium member with broader STEM/engineering focus but some overlap in social-work-adjacent programs. Part of the joint podcast collaboration with EHB, representing regional competition for general HAW applicants in Berlin.
• Hochschule für Wirtschaft und Recht Berlin (HWR Berlin): Large Berlin HAW partner in the RKHD consortium and lead institution of the joint 'Gemeinsam weiterdenken hoch 6' podcast with EHB. While broader in scope (business, law, engineering, public administration), it competes for some SAGE-adjacent students and represents an alternative HAW pathway in Berlin.
• HTW Berlin (Hochschule für Technik und Wirtschaft Berlin): One of Berlin's largest HAWs and RKHD consortium member. Broader portfolio but shares the Berlin HAW applicant pool and the joint 'Gemeinsam weiterdenken hoch 6' podcast platform, making it a regional competitor for prospective HAW students.
• Fachhochschule Potsdam (FHP): Public HAW in nearby Brandenburg with social work, education, and design programs. Operates in the same metropolitan labor market as EHB and competes for the regional pool of SAGE-oriented students in the Berlin-Brandenburg area.

Direct peers

• Katholische Hochschule für Sozialwesen Berlin (KHSB): Catholic counterpart to EHB in Berlin, also part of the SAGE Berlin Network. Offers nearly identical social-work, health, and education programs with church affiliation (Catholic vs. Evangelical), serving the same applicant pool and competing directly for SAGE students in the Berlin market.
• Alice Salomon Hochschule Berlin: Berlin-based University of Applied Sciences focused on social work, health, and education. It is the most direct peer to EHB within the SAGE Berlin Network, offering overlapping bachelor and master programs in social work, nursing, and pedagogy with comparable student profiles and employer networks in Berlin.
• Katholische Stiftungshochschule München (KSH München): Large Catholic-affiliated HAW with extensive social work, nursing, and education programs. Comparable institutional structure to EHB (church-affiliated HAW with SAGE-style portfolio) at larger scale, providing a relevant benchmark for EHB's positioning.
• Evangelische Hochschule Darmstadt (EHD): Another Evangelical church-affiliated HAW in Germany with overlapping programs in social work, religious pedagogy, and education. Operates under the same EKD-aligned governance and Diakonie employer network, making it a near-twin peer institution at a national level.
• Evangelische Hochschule Ludwigsburg (EH Ludwigsburg): Evangelical HAW offering social work, religious pedagogy, and health programs. Strong structural peer to EHB with shared church affiliation and similar program architecture, though located in Baden-Württemberg rather than Berlin.

Emerging players

• Hochschule für Gesundheit (hsg) Bochum: Germany's first state-run health-focused university of applied sciences, offering nursing, midwifery, and therapy programs. Represents emerging direct competition in the dual nursing/midwifery programs that EHB has prioritized as growth areas.
