Quadriga University of Applied Sciences Berlin: English-taught Programs with Admission Restriction — Numerus Clausus/NC (2026/27)

Quadriga Hochschule Berlin is a private, state-recognized university of applied sciences built as a professional school: its master's and MBA programs are designed exclusively for working professionals who already hold a degree and are aiming for, or already in, leadership roles. Recognized by the Berlin Senate in 2009 and accredited by the German Science Council (Wissenschaftsrat), the school concentrates on leadership-adjacent fields — public relations and communication, politics and public affairs, HR and organizational development, digital transformation, and coaching.

Programs run part-time alongside a job, and every student is assigned a personal mentor for the duration of their studies. The campus sits in central Berlin, close to the Federal Foreign Office, and the school is part of the Quadriga Media group, which also runs the Deutsche Presseakademie and hosts industry congresses, conferences, and awards — giving students access to a network of decision-makers in business, politics, and media rather than a purely academic peer group. Corporate partners have included companies like Bayer, Audi, and Deloitte.
