Study Human Resource Management in Germany (2026/27)

Human Resource Management in Germany

The core tenet of Human Resources Management is that "an organisation is only as good as its people" - and if you agree with such a statement, then Germany could be the place for you to learn what is commonly known as HR! As the financial centre of Europe, Germany has a booming network of companies that house a huge variety of human talent, which in turn requires constant policy and system management to help companies gain competitive advantage. Students in this field can therefore expect to learn how to manage an organisation's human capital - from recruitment processes, through training and retention, to the development of larger corporate strategies (such as mergers and acquisitions, industrial relations and inclusion policies).

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).
