Study Migration Studies in Germany (2026/27)

Migration Studies in Germany

Studying migration means understanding the sociological, cultural, and political aspects of the movement of people with intentions of settling at a new location. It is an immensely transdisciplinary subject of study covering an intersection of different theoretical subjects (such as race, ethnicity, and social structure) with global processes such as security, citizenship, and international relations. Because Germany is one of the most popular destinations for immigrants in the world (with well over 1 million people moving there each year since 2013) the country is the perfect environment for students looking for opportunities in the field.

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).
