Theology & Religious Studies Numerus Clausus

Theology & Religious Studies Programs in Germany with Admission Restriction - Numerus Clausus/NC (2026/27)

Overview Deadlines

Germany offers international students exceptional theology and religious studies programs that combine the country's historic role as the cradle of the Protestant Reformation with modern pluralistic approaches that treat religion as a powerful historical force and a living reality. These programs draw on centuries of theological scholarship while embracing contemporary issues. Students engage deeply with ancient texts in Hebrew, Greek, and Latin, as well as with critical examinations of the intersection of faith, politics, migration, and cultural change.

Most Selective Theology & Religious Studies 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).

Theology & Religious Studies NC: Glossary

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.
