The cityscape blends centuries of history with a vibrant student culture. Aachen Cathedral, Germany's first UNESCO World Heritage Site and the coronation church of Charlemagne, stands alongside lively squares, independent cafés, and a thriving nightlife centered around the famous Pontstraße.

Most Selective Bachelor Programs in Aachen

For degree courses with a numerus clausus, part of the study places are allocated according to the grade point average (GPA) of the previous degree. Selection is generally based on how many applicants apply for a place. The higher the grade, the more difficult it is to get onto the course. The German grading system ranges from 1.0 (very good) to 6.0 (unsatisfactory).

Aachen Bachelor Programs with NC: Glossary

Numerus Clausus (NC)
This Latin term means “limited number” and indicates that a program has restricted admission. In other words, not all applicants can be accepted, so selection is usually based on grades or other criteria when demand exceeds available spots.
