Most Selective Study Programs at Hochschule Merseburg

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).

Hochschule Merseburg NC: Glossary

Numerus Clausus (NC)
