Tuition-free Biological Oceanography with NC

Studying Biological Oceanography in Germany is an excellent choice because the country hosts world-leading marine research institutions such as GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research and the Alfred Wegener Institute, with DFG-funded collaborative research centres investigating ocean ecosystems, plankton ecology, biogeochemical cycles, and deep-sea biodiversity. You will explore the interactions between marine organisms and their physical-chemical environment, addressing urgent global challenges including ocean warming, biodiversity loss, and carbon sequestration in marine systems.

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).

Tuition-free Biological Oceanography programs with 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.
