Englisch 
Deutsch The Alice Salomon University of Applied Sciences Berlin (ASH Berlin) is the largest state university in Germany with a focus on the SAGE professions - Social Work, Health, and Education. It is a research-active and practice-oriented university with a strong interdisciplinary profile and international focus.
Founded with roots in the 19th century, ASH Berlin traces back to the "Social Women's School" established by Alice Salomon in 1908, which significantly shaped the systematic training in social work. Despite severe setbacks during the Nazi era, the university was able to be rebuilt after 1945 and has carried the name of its founder again since 1992.
Today, the university offers bachelor's and master's programmes in the fields of Social Work, Early Childhood Education, Nursing, Health Management, and Public Health. The connection between theory and practice is emphasized, as well as the promotion of diversity, gender mainstreaming, family-friendliness, health promotion, and sustainability.
The university is divided into two faculties: Faculty I for Social Work with over 2,800 students and 51 professorships, and Faculty II for Health, Education, and Training with around 1,100 students and 31 professorships. It offers a wide range of study programmes, including part-time and dual study programmes.
The university's mission is based on participatively developed principles focusing on diversity, gender equality, health-promoting working and studying conditions, and sustainable development. Research, teaching, and practice are closely intertwined at ASH Berlin, with students actively involved in research projects.
ASH Berlin is also strongly networked internationally. It maintains collaborations with universities, organizations, and institutions worldwide, actively promoting the mobility of students and teaching staff. Furthermore, the university is committed to lifelong learning through permeability in the education system, recognition of non-academic competences, and further education opportunities.
Special awards include the Alice Salomon Poetic Prize and the Alice Salomon Award. The university remains committed to the emancipatory mission and societal mandate of its founder, continuously striving for further development in teaching, research, and knowledge transfer.

Thank You
Hello, and thank you for your message!
First a quick clarification, so you reach the right place: you've contacted the fernstudi.net team. We're an independent comparison portal for distance-learning and university programmes in Germany – we are not the admissions office of Alice Salomon Hochschule Berlin (ASH). That means we can't decide on your application, accept test scores, or formally assess your degree from Nepal. Only ASH Berlin itself (and, for foreign qualifications, the German service uni-assist) can do that. But we're glad to point you in the right direction.
The ASH programme we have details on
In our database, ASH Berlin offers one part-time distance master's: the M.A. Sozialmanagement (Social Management), run together with the Paritätische Akademie. It's a good match for a social-work background and prepares you for leadership and management roles in the social sector. Key facts:
Entry requirement: a first university degree (Bachelor, Diplom or Magister) with at least 180–210 credits, plus at least one year of work experience. If your degree carries 180 credits, there's an individual procedure to recognise/earn the missing 30 credits.
Duration & format: about 5 semesters, mostly self-study with some attendance phases and online learning.
Fees: roughly €330/month (around €9,900 in total).

One important point about language
This master's – like most of ASH Berlin's master's programmes – is taught in German. So the language requirement is usually proof of German proficiency (for example DSH or TestDaF), not English. That means an English test such as PTE or IELTS may not be the deciding factor for a German-taught programme. Whether ASH accepts PTE for any specific (English-taught) course is something only ASH can confirm – please don't assume your PTE result alone will be enough without checking with them first.
About your situation (degree from Nepal + grades)
We can't tell you whether your bachelor's at 69.45% meets ASH's requirements – that's ASH's decision. For a degree from Nepal it usually involves a credential check (international applicants to German universities often apply through uni-assist, which verifies foreign qualifications).
Please also note the work-experience requirement above (at least one year) for the Sozialmanagement programme.
ASH also offers on-campus master's programmes that aren't in our distance database, so for the complete picture it's best to ask ASH directly.
Your best next steps
Contact ASH Berlin's international admissions / student advisory office directly with your exact question (degree from Nepal, your grades, and which language tests they accept).
Ask ASH whether your foreign degree should be submitted through uni-assist.

A small heads-up: admission rules, language requirements and accepted tests can change and depend on each applicant's individual case, so please confirm everything directly with ASH Berlin before applying.
Wishing you all the best with your application!
