Frequently asked questions
Do I need German to study at ICN Berlin?
No. Programmes at the Berlin campus are taught in English and German proficiency is not an admission requirement. You will still need German for most part-time work and daily life, so learning it is worthwhile.
Do I need an APS certificate for ICN Berlin?
Yes. Indian students need an APS certificate to apply for a German student visa regardless of which institution admits them. Apply at least four months before departure — processing alone can take four to six weeks.
Is the degree French or German?
ICN is a French Grande École, so the qualification is French even though you study in Berlin. This affects which post-study work rights you can claim, so confirm the specifics for your programme before applying.
