Computer Science entry scores in Germany (2025): cut-off marks by university
We have official entry scores for 11 programmes (scale from 1 to 4, lower is better). In the latest lists the score of the last admitted student ranged from 1.6 to 4. The most selective programme was at Hochschule Bielefeld - University of Applied Sciences and Arts (HSBI), the most accessible at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München.
Always check current information on the official website of the university before you apply.
The score is the result of the last admitted student, so it changes every year.
How admission works in Germany
Some programmes have open admission; others have fewer places than applicants (numerus clausus), where the school-leaving grade (1.0 is best, 4.0 worst) and waiting time decide. Medicine, Dentistry, Veterinary Medicine and Pharmacy are allocated through hochschulstart.de. Foreign school certificates are checked (often via uni-assist); if the certificate gives no direct access, a year at a Studienkolleg and the Feststellungsprüfung exam are required. German-taught programmes require German at DSH-2 / TestDaF 4 level.
