GlobCred Tuition Loan

Up to 100% Funded —
€15,000 avg. 18 Months.

GlobCred facilitates a tuition loan covering up to 100% of your Arden University Berlin Master's programme fee — an average of around €15,000, including the €2,500 holding fee, so there is nothing to pay upfront to secure your place. The loan is sanctioned and disbursed directly to Arden only after you complete the Day 0 instalment; no funds are transferred to the student. Repay over 18 months at a flat 5% per annum.

*Arden Berlin may award a scholarship of up to €5,000 depending on your profile. Scholarships are decided by Arden and are not guaranteed — the GlobCred loan is calculated on the full €15,000 fee. Any scholarship you receive simply reduces what you owe. The €15,000 figure is an average — your exact programme fee is confirmed by your GlobCred counsellor, and your repayment is calculated on your actual fee.
How Disbursement Works
⏱ The loan is a Full Student Loan: repayment begins immediately, with the first instalment due on the day the loan agreement is signed (Day 0). You pay your first monthly instalment plus a one-time €100 admin fee.
🔒 The loan is sanctioned only after the Day 0 payment is made. Once you submit proof of the Day 0 instalment, the lender disburses the €15,000 (including the €2,500 holding fee) directly to Arden University Berlin and you begin your programme. You then repay the remaining 17 monthly instalments.
⚠️ GlobCred is a facilitator, not a lender. The final credit decision is made by the lender only. GlobCred does not guarantee loan disbursal. The loan covers tuition; living costs and any visa blocked-account requirement are separate.
