Numerus clausus (NC)

Admission restrictions for degree programs that are in particularly high demand and have limited capacity.

Places in degree programs with admission restrictions are allocated either by the university or nationwide by the Stiftung für Hochschulzulassung (Foundation for University Admissions, formerly ZVS). The application process also varies depending on the NC.

You can check whether a degree program has admission restrictions or not on the “All degree programs” page.
