Theologische Fakultät Paderborn NC

The Theologische Fakultät Paderborn (Paderborn Faculty of Theology) is a state-recognised church-run university under the sponsorship of the Archiepiscopal See of Paderborn. With a tradition of more than 400 years, it is the oldest institution of higher education in Westphalia; as the legal successor of the old University of Paderborn, it still uses that university's seal from 1614. Pope Paul VI granted it the legal status of a theological faculty with the right to award academic degrees in June 1966, and the state of North Rhine-Westphalia recognised it in October of the same year. It therefore holds the same rank as the theology faculties of public universities.

Most Selective Study Programs at Theologische Fakultät Paderborn

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).
