Frequently Asked Questions

No, BSBI is a business school offering recognised undergraduate and postgraduate programmes via collaborations with universities.

No. All of our programmes are awarded by our academic partners who have their own awarding degree power and recognised by ANABIN and worldwide.

Under the title ‘master’s degree of Primo Livello’, the study programme does not guarantee a direct entry to a third cycle degree such as a DBA or a PhD in any university, as you also need a solid research proposal and usually five years of previous education in the first and second cycles. Doctorate applications are assessed on their merit and each university and country has their own admissions criteria. However, all graduates that we know with a UNINETTUNO master’s degree did not encounter any problem in being accepted. UNINETTUNO is now also offering, via BSBI, its own DBA course for students who wish to progress from their postgraduate qualifications, in Berlin.

University for the Creative Arts (UCA) uses UK credits and in this framework all Bachelor programmes have 360 UK credits (e-year duration) and all Masters 180 UK credits (18-month duration).

Concordia University Chicago (CUC) uses the American credit system and the 2 Master programmes (the MBA and the MA in Innovation and Entrepreneurship) that BSBI runs in Berlin carry 36 and 30 credits/ credit hours respectively (2-year duration).

No, according to student contract, it is clear that if a student fails to submit on time or did not successfully pass his or her assignment, we require a resubmission which will incur an admin fee of 100 euros. The cost covers the resubmission of the assignments as well as the marking. Students who have experienced personal circumstances, such illness etc. will not be charged. 

Our university partners’ degrees (UNINETTUNO, UCA, CUC and Roehampton University) are recognised across Europe and the rest of the world as well as being approved by Anabin as H+ institutions. 

The DAAD website is only for German institutions and awarding bodies, which means that BSBI is not required to be featured on the DAAD website. Many international universities teaching degrees in Germany are not on the platform for the same reason.
