Do I have to have received very good Math, Physics and Science grades in school in order to be allowed to study Computer Science in Freiburg?

To apply for a place on a Computer Science course in Freiburg, you will have to complete a so-called “Eignungsfeststellungsverfahren” (Aptitude Assessment Process). This is not an exam, but a process which enables us to calculate a grade point average from your achievements in different subjects (mathematics, languages and science) studied in school, as well as from the grades obtained in your high school leaving exams. The assessed suitability of a candidate for the program and hence their acceptance onto the course depends, among other things, on this grade point average. Good grades are, therefore, an advantage.
However, what is absolutely crucial is that you should enjoy using mathematical knowledge. Anyone who, despite good grades, cannot think mathematically and abstractly would perhaps do better choosing another course. Good grades in science subjects are not of the highest importance for us. However, anyone who specifically wants to minor in one particular subject should possess sufficient basic knowledge of this subject.
