Alice Salomon University of Applied Sciences Berlin

Located in the district of Berlin-Hellersdorf, ASH is a state-run institution that focuses on applied sciences with a strong emphasis on social responsibility, equality, and interdisciplinary collaboration.

The university is known for its commitment to social justice, inclusion, and diversity, fostering an academic environment that encourages critical thinking and professional development.

Building upon this foundation, in 1908, Alice Salomon founded the Social School for Women[2] in Berlin-Schöneberg, offering a two-year curriculum that integrated theoretical and practical training.

This institution became a model for social work education in Germany, emphasizing interdisciplinarity, the integration of theory and practice, and an international perspective—principles that continue to define ASH Berlin's programs today.

Some of the teachers of the courses, besides Salomon, included Käthe Bonikowsky, Margarethe Freiin von Erffa, Elly Heuss-Knapp, Hilde Lion, Elisabeth Nietzsche, and Helene Weber, among others.

Cooperation between the university and the district of Hellersdorf include community projects involving children and youth and the issue of urban development.

These programs are designed to provide advanced professional development opportunities for individuals seeking to enhance their expertise in specific areas.

In addition to the main building, the university operates a facility at Fritz-Lang-Straße 5, which houses skills labs for the Bachelor's program in Nursing, professors' offices, and seminar rooms.
