Applied Physics Numerus Clausus

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

Overview Deadlines

Germany’s Applied Physics programs offer international students a unique opportunity to bridge fundamental science with real-world technologies in fields like photonics, quantum computing, nanotechnology, renewable energy, and semiconductor physics. Curricula combine rigorous training in classical and quantum mechanics with advanced experimental methods, computational modeling, and materials characterization, supported by hands-on access to cleanrooms, laser labs, electron microscopes, and supercomputing clusters. Students collaborate with leading research institutions such as the Max Planck Society, Fraunhofer Institutes, Helmholtz Centers, and DESY, while also engaging with industry leaders including Siemens, Bosch, Infineon, and TRUMPF.

Most Selective Applied Physics 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).

Applied Physics 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.
