Germany is an outstanding destination for studying Political Science, offering unparalleled insights into democratic governance, European integration, and international relations in Europe’s most influential political and economic power. Students analyze politics at the very heart of decision-making—from Berlin’s Bundestag shaping EU policy to Frankfurt’s European Central Bank steering global markets—while learning from a nation that transformed from post-war division into a cornerstone of multilateral cooperation and democratic stability. Universities provide rigorous programs that combine comparative politics, international relations, and political theory with advanced empirical research methods, using Germany’s federal system and EU leadership as living laboratories for multi-level governance and transnational politics.

Most Selective International Political Science Programs

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).

Numerus Clausus (NC)
This Latin term means “limited number” and indicates that a program has restricted admission. In other words, not all applicants can be accepted, so selection is usually based on grades or other criteria when demand exceeds available spots.
