NC - Numerus clausus
NC - Numerus clausus
The numerus clausus only applies to degree programmes with restricted admission, as only a limited number of places can be allocated in these subjects.
Contrary to a widespread misunderstanding, the numerus clausus (NC) is not a value determined BEFORE the allocation procedure. It is the result of the procedure for awarding degree programmes with restricted admission and can therefore only be communicated afterwards.
The values vary from year to year because the number of applications received is different and therefore the average grades and waiting periods are also different.
Reading example for applicants with school qualifications
Two-subject Bachelor of Special Education
- 1st line: In the main admission procedure, the last applicant to be admitted was someone who could prove at least an average grade of 2.3 or at least 4 half-year waiting periods (so-called waiting semesters).
- 2nd line: In the last succession procedure of the admission procedure, all applicants were admitted.
Since the number of waiting semesters (average grade if the waiting period is the same) determines admission for several applicants with the same grade, not all applicants with the same grade or with the same half-year waiting period could be admitted to the degree programme.
| Degree programme | Grade/waiting period |
| Special Education | 2.3/4 NV all |

Selection within the professional qualification quota is based exclusively on grade!
In the first line of the respective degree programme you will find the grade of the last applicant admitted in the main procedure. In the line below, you will find the grade that was required for admission to the degree programme in the last succession procedure:
| Degree programme | Grade |
