Animal Science Numerus Clausus

Animal Science Programs in Germany with Admission Restriction - Numerus Clausus/NC (2026/27)

Overview Deadlines

Germany’s Animal Science programs offer international students a world-class education at the intersection of livestock management, sustainability, and biotechnology in a country whose €40 billion livestock sector sets EU-wide standards for animal welfare. These English-taught degrees combine productivity with ethics, teaching students to design precision diets that cut environmental impact, use genomics for genetic improvement while safeguarding biodiversity, develop housing systems that respect animal behavior, and implement health strategies that reduce antibiotic use. Germany’s diverse agricultural landscape provides hands-on experience across robotic dairy farms, conservation-based beef systems, group-housed pig farms, free-range poultry, and innovative sectors like aquaculture and insect protein.

Most Selective Animal Science Programs

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).

Animal Science 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.
