Study Oceanography in Kiel (2026/27)
It would be hard to find a broader field that deserves more attention than it gets than oceanography. This vast umbrella discipline looks at everything worth knowing about the world's oceans and what lies in (and sometimes above and below!) them from different angles, drawing on the fields of biology, chemistry, climatology, geography, geology, hydrology, meteorology, physics and more. Understanding and protecting our oceans is vital to human progress and survival. If this sounds interesting to you (and it should!), consider studying Marine Sciences/Oceanography at a German university!

Numerus Clausus (Admission Restriction)
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).
