Mayen: Numerus Clausus

Mayen offers international students a calm and authentic living environment in the heart of the Eifel region, shaped by nature, history, and traditional craftsmanship. The town is deeply connected to its volcanic heritage, which is reflected in its historic quarries, local architecture, and landmarks such as the Genovevaburg castle built from regional basalt stone. As part of the Eifel Volcano Park, Mayen combines geological significance with a strong sense of regional identity. Its compact size creates short distances, a personal atmosphere, and a close-knit community.

Most Selective Study Programs in Mayen

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).
