Evaluating chances: Numerus Clausus

If you are interested in an restricted subject or program at RUB and would like to assess your chances in advance, you can view the NC values of the last admission procedures on the overview page linked below.

Please consider the past NC values only as a “guideline", as the NC can change every semester.

Please also note that the comparison of the NC values for a summer semester is only meaningful with the values of the previous summer semesters. Likewise, the comparison for a winter semester only makes sense with the NC values of past winter semesters. The stated results of the procedure refer only to applicants with a German Abitur or degree, German citizenship and applicants with EU citizenship or degree!

Application procedure for restricted degree programs

The number of study places is limited to a certain capacity in restricted degree programs. Therefore, an application is required in advance and, due to the limited number of places, admission cannot be guaranteed. There are different admission procedures.
