MSB Medical School Berlin

What MSB Medical School Berlin does

MSB Medical School Berlin — Hochschule für Gesundheit und Medizin — is a private, state-recognized university (private, staatlich anerkannte Hochschule) headquartered in Berlin-Wilmersdorf at Rüdesheimer Straße 50, with an additional clinical research site at Helios Klinikum Berlin-Buch. Founded in 2012 and owned by the IRO Group (a conglomerate of five private German universities including MSH Hamburg, HMU Erfurt/Potsdam/Düsseldorf/Munich, and BSP Business and Law School), MSB offers an interdisciplinary portfolio of degree programs spanning human medicine and dental medicine Staatsexamen programs (with NC-free admission), eight Bachelor programs, and ten Master programs across psychology, health economics, social work, medical pedagogy, physician assistant, cognitive neuroscience, and digital health management. The institution serves primarily prospective undergraduate and graduate students seeking health professional qualifications that bypass traditional Numerus Clausus restrictions, with a secondary clinical segment served through its Psychotherapeutische Hochschulambulanz outpatient clinic and the MSB-IPB Institute for Integrative Psychotherapy Training.

MSB's core technology and infrastructure consists of an interdisciplinary medical education and research platform anchored by four research institutes (ICR — Institute of Clinical Research; INBICA — Institute of Neuroscience and Biopsychology for Clinical Application; ITM — Institute of Translational Medicine for Health Care Systems; IHPI — Institute of Psychosocial Research for Health Promotion and Intervention) and specialized laboratories including Experimental Psychology Labs (with EEG equipment), a Biomedical Research Laboratory for molecular biology and biophysical analysis, and the developing Organoid Expertise Center. Clinical research infrastructure is co-located with Helios Klinikum Berlin-Buch, providing patient databases and clinical trial facilities, with additional academic medical collaboration via Charité Universitätsmedizin Berlin and the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ).

The business model is tuition-driven recurring revenue from degree-seeking students, supplemented by third-party funded research (e.g., the Innovation Fund of the Gemeinsamer Bundesausschuss via the AGE-ADAPT project, and the DFG Clinical Trials programme via the VISION-AGE project), and limited clinical fee revenue from the psychotherapy outpatient clinic. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; prospective students are directed to admissions contacts. MSB's go-to-market is primarily direct enrollment supported by a multi-channel student recruitment apparatus including campus open days, virtual information evenings, try-out camps, sample lectures, a psychology podcast, social media, and education fair participation. The institution does not publicly disclose revenue, headcount, or enrollment figures.
