About the course

A 7-semester, 210-ECTS design degree taught in English in Berlin, covering the design of multisensory spaces, immersive environments and narrative-driven experiences for retail, exhibitions, hospitality and workplaces. Teaching combines studio projects with SRH’s CORE model of 5-week blocks focused on one or two topics.

Entry requirements for Irish students

  • SRH does not publish specific Leaving Certificate rules; it asks for a recognised higher education entrance qualification. Under German recognition rules (KMK/anabin), the Leaving Cert gives direct university entry only if you have six subjects, including two languages and Maths (O5/H6 or better), with at least two at Higher Level at H5 or better and the rest at O6/H6 or better. Art and design falls in the humanities/arts area, so no extra subjects are needed. LCA and LCVP are not accepted. Confirm with SRH admissions.
  • You must submit a portfolio of about 10 pages presenting your own creative work, and you will normally be invited to an admissions interview.
  • Proof of English is required. The programme page does not list the accepted tests or scores, but SRH offers its own SRH English Proficiency Certificate test for applicants who do not meet the standard criteria. Ask admissions whether a letter from your Irish school confirming you were taught in English is accepted.

Costs

  • SRH is a private university. EU/EEA tuition is €750 per month (about €9,000 a year). SRH’s fee list valid from April 2026 quotes €8,730 a year and €29,925 for the full 7 semesters, figures that reflect its advance-payment discounts (3% for paying a year ahead, 5% for paying the whole programme ahead). There is also a one-off enrolment (registration) fee of €750 for EU/EEA students, paid to reserve your place.
This is a private university: the full programme costs about €30,000 in tuition plus a €750 enrolment fee, unlike Germany’s public universities, which charge EU students no tuition. Budget for Berlin rent as well.
