Peace & Conflict Studies in Germany

Germany offers international students an exceptional opportunity to study Peace & Conflict Studies, drawing on the country’s unique historical transformation from wartime aggressor to global advocate of reconciliation, multilateralism, and peacebuilding. Programs at universities and institutes such as the Peace Research Institute Frankfurt (PRIF) and the Bonn International Center for Conversion combine political science, sociology, international law, and psychology with practical skills in mediation, conflict resolution, and peace negotiation. Students benefit from Germany’s active role in UN peacekeeping missions, its leadership in international development cooperation, and access to a vibrant ecosystem of NGOs, think tanks, and diplomatic institutions in Berlin and Bonn.

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).
