BSBI School of Business and Innovation Reviews 

Student number Q1135390
If you are considering Berlin School of Business and Innovation, please read this carefully do not fall for the hired reviews

My experience with this institution has been extremely frustrating and disappointing. My sister was initially confirmed as having met all admission requirements, and based on this confirmation, I paid a €2000 deposit as her sponsor.

After payment, we repeatedly requested the necessary admission documents to proceed with the visa application, but these were never provided. As the program start date approached, and after multiple follow-ups, the institution suddenly changed its position just two weeks before the start date claiming that she did not meet the requirements, specifically the English test. This was despite the fact that they had already confirmed she had passed and even sent a congratulatory email.

The institution also claimed to have sent important documents, including the admission letter and a notice of change of institution. However, we never received these, and despite repeated requests, they failed to resend them.

Following these inconsistencies, we requested a refund. The institution confirmed that the refund was approved on 12 February 2026. However, more than 68 days later, the money has still not been returned. Multiple follow-ups and requests for proof of refund initiation have been ignored or met with vague responses.

It is also important to note that when the initial payment was made, it reflected in their account within less than three days, and we were pressured to pay within a strict deadline. However, the refund has taken over two months without resolution.

This experience has involved contradictory information, lack of transparency, and poor communication throughout. It has resulted in financial loss, wasted time, and significant stress.

I strongly advise anyone considering this institution to proceed with caution and thoroughly verify all processes before making any payments.

It’s important to note that before payment, they will call you endlessly to build trust hence you end up even paying for more than the 1500 euros they ask you for intial payment, they will confuse you with discounts, back to back checkin calls, emails and documents that are leading no where, even ask you to deposit 15000 euros in a blocked account along with promises of accommodation and visa assistance that they will not provide.

This is to create awareness as I try to reach out to the relevant authorities to get my money back. If any one knows any authorities out there to assist kindly provide the details

Watch out for their personales Dimitrys Tasiopaulos and Madison Bassow

Update ***
I confirm I got my money back but it doesn’t invalidate my experience, I had to reach out to various authorities, Berlin online police , countless emails, just to get the money I paid in good faith back it was such a tormenting experience therefore I will leave this review there for someone to make an informed decision. In addition to that I didn’t get the full amount back as that’s how they run the scheme. Incase you experience this please reach out to:
*Berlin online police
This will bring light to the operations of this admission process and save very many people from financial loss.

My Advisor is Pulla Madhuri, she has been nothing but very helpful. I have enjoyed and i am pleased with my experience so far.

I am very thankful to BSBI, Gone Pratyshua who left and especially Ravi Rajanala for assisting me through out, but in last few months I am not satisfied by BSBI Admin department there response was too slow , so please pace that up

Madhuri pulla was a good assistant

perfect university and student supporters

Am having an amazing experience with the student advisor Aruna. She’s polite and respectful and takes her time to explain and solve my issues with me. She’s always giving me the assistance I need on my admission.

I have had a fantastic experience so far.
The admissions team is very proactive, my study advisor, Julius, is forth coming and super available. I can only imagine what the future holds :)

Pulla Madhuri is a wonderful individual who helps me with guidance about university and her nice behaviour.

I don’t really have any problem because my application is going very smooth and easy.
My advisor makes things clear for me to understand and progressing from one step to the other very effortless
He also make sure im not holding unto any question.
Mr Jesmon Jacob, thank you very much.

The experience with the BSBI team is going good, special thanks to Themis , Monica and Ramu from Visa team are helping me with the process and answering all my questions during this process.

It was an amazing experience with Julius and Madison my academic advisors. Their time, dedication and commitment to my student application to BSBI. I recommend them to anyone who want to attend BSBI.

Thank you so much.

From the first day of my application, they help me very much. Especially they contact one to one for every kind of problem and give me solution. Themis mem, Ravi sir give me any kind of solution as soon as possible. They are very cooperative.

From the beginning to admission was awesome. Guiding in every step and assisting me throughout the entire process. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend BSBI to anyone. When I feel like giving up along the way, l was overwhelmed with how the staff paid attention to every detail of my progress. Thank you BSBI team

I appreciate the weekly checkup and update. The concise response to the mails also

I really appreciate your student advisory service at BSBI Berlin Germany. Besides this they are so honest with students. And I really appreciate their assistance and guidance.

I enjoyed every experience because I was carefully taken through the entire process to submit my application. The serve rendered was perfect

UPDATE :
Anyone looking to research if BSBI is suitable to study in, please do a thorough research and not just read all the 5 star reviews alone cos I feel they do this on purpose to pretty much make a visible difference, hence pumping up positive comments to white wash off the reality.
Also please check on the fact that embassies DO NOT recognise BSBI as an accredited university of Germany, hence your work visa conversion times may face challenges !! I have a few friends currently going through this tough phase and of course BSBI would not care.

—————————————-

My experience during studies here was acceptable. The teaching was reasonable and I have no major complaints about the academic side.

I say this so you understand that what follows is not bitterness — it is a factual account of what happens once you graduate and need this institution to function like one.

In January, I contacted this institution to request a replacement degree certificate — a document I urgently need for official purposes. It is now April 2026. Months later, nothing has been done.

I sent emails on 21 January, 2 February, 10 February, 25 February, and 30 March.

Five separate attempts to get a simple administrative process started. The only responses I received were two generic replies stating my message had been forwarded — with no case reference, no timeline, no next steps, and no actual human accountability. I had already contacted the same department directly myself, multiple times.

Not one person from the institution has taken ownership of this. Not one deadline has been given. A degree certificate — a legal document — has been treated as an afterthought by an institution that charged premium tuition fees to issue it in the first place.

What you need to know before you enroll:This institution is not recognised in Germany for visa conversion purposes. I know this not from hearsay but from personal experience — multiple former students I know personally have recently had their work visa applications rejected specifically because of this. They paid for an international education in Germany expecting it to support their future here. It did not.

If you are an international student whose goal is to build a career and long term life in Germany, verify independently — before paying a single euro — whether this qualification will actually be recognised for your visa and career goals. Verify it directly with the relevant German authorities yourself before enrolling.

One star.. is for lectures

The Berlin School of Business and Innovation (BSBI) is among the better private colleges in Germany. The faculty and staff are experienced and genuinely strive to help students grow both professionally and personally. There are many events held throughout the year that students can take advantage of.

The student community is diverse; however, the majority are from Asian countries (India, Pakistan, Bangladesh), followed by students from African and other neighbouring European countries. The institution takes feedback seriously and makes an effort to improve while supporting students wherever possible.

Classes are typically held only two days a week, which allows students to settle in and support themselves while living in a new country. I would recommend studying here if you are considering a private university in Germany.

When i was enrolled, I had very moderate expectations to be honest however the quality of the academic staff and opportunities offered career-wise were beyond my imagination. I am so glad that i chose BSBI.
