Teaching at secondary school offers the unique opportunity to accompany young people during a crucial phase of their intellectual development and to inspire them with enthusiasm for your own subject. As a secondary school teacher, you work with students who are preparing for demanding academic paths – whether that be the Abitur (German university entrance qualification) or later university studies. This means that you can delve deeply into your subject, teach complex concepts, and encourage critical thinking.

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.
