Study History of Science in Germany (2026/27)

Overview Deadlines

History of Science programs in Germany explore how scientific knowledge and practices have developed across cultures and centuries, studying in a country whose universities and research institutions have shaped global science from Kepler’s laws of planetary motion to Einstein’s theory of relativity. These interdisciplinary degrees trace the evolution of ideas, technologies, and institutions from ancient civilizations to today, examining how political, religious, and economic forces shaped discoveries and how key figures like Galileo, Newton, Darwin, and Humboldt transformed our understanding of the natural world. Students analyze original scientific texts, investigate museum collections and archives, and explore the interplay between science, philosophy, and society—developing skills in critical analysis, historical research, and contextual interpretation.

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).
