Study Food Science in Germany (2026/27)

Overview Deadlines

Food Science programs in Germany offer international students the chance to study in Europe’s largest food market, where tradition meets cutting-edge innovation in an industry worth over €180 billion annually. These interdisciplinary, often English-taught degrees cover the entire journey from molecule to marketplace, combining chemistry, biology, and engineering to ensure food is safe, sustainable, and appealing. Students learn to detect contaminants at parts-per-billion levels, design nutrient-preserving processes, develop clean-label products, and explore gut microbiome interactions, while also navigating regulations that range from the historic beer purity laws to novel food approvals.

Numerus Clausus (Admission Restriction)

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).
