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

Anthropology NC

Anthropology programs in Germany provide international students with a deep understanding of humanity’s cultural, social, and biological diversity, studied in a country whose own history spans from prehistoric archaeological sites to complex modern multiculturalism. These English-taught programs explore the breadth of the discipline—cultural anthropology, archaeology, linguistic anthropology, and biological anthropology—while emphasizing interdisciplinary methods that integrate sociology, history, and environmental studies. Students learn to conduct ethnographic fieldwork, analyze material culture, interpret social structures, and investigate human evolution, often gaining hands-on experience through excavations, museum research, and community-based projects.

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).
