University of Göttingen

Sources

• Legal notice https://www.uni-goettingen.de/en/105.html

  The official legal notice confirms the legal name Georg-August-Universität Göttingen, the English name University of Göttingen, and the address in Göttingen.

  The source is used to normalize the institution name, city, and country.

• Range of Study Programmes https://www.uni-goettingen.de/en/3811.html

  The official programme catalogue shows separate first degree types: Bachelor mono, Bachelor two subjects, Bachelor teaching profession, and State or Ecclesiastical Examination.

  The catalogue confirms admission into named programmes and subject combinations, but does not itself prove post-enrollment major or second-subject choice.

• Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science https://www.uni-goettingen.de/en/46536.html

  The page states that BA and BSc degrees are awarded after a six-semester programme, confirming the ordinary minimum bachelor duration of 3 years.

  The maxYears = 6 value is retained as a conservative upper bound for first degree routes given that the catalogue includes State or Ecclesiastical Examination; a current Medicine or Dentistry programme card with the exact semester count was not confirmed in this pass.

  In the two-subject bachelor, students can combine two equally weighted subjects from roughly 45 subjects; prospective teachers must follow stipulated combinations.

  This two-subject structure is not counted as programChoice = 4 because the source describes a programme subject combination, not post-core choice of a second major.

• Application and Enrolment https://www.uni-goettingen.de/en/46792.html

  The Application Guide asks applicants to select the degree, programme, and, for Bachelor two subjects, the first and second subject before application.

  For two-subject programmes, the page routes applicants through cases such as two subjects with restricted admission or two subjects with open admission and then to application instructions.

  This confirms that the ordinary subject combination is chosen at application stage, making it boundary evidence against programChoice above 0.

  A separate Business and Human Resource Education case allows second teaching-subject registration after enrollment, but this is a narrow single-program pocket and does not change the dominant university coordinate.

• Undergraduate degree programmes, higher subject semesters https://www.uni-goettingen.de/en/418169.html

  The page for changing university, programme, or subject requires a certificate of transferable credits and an application or enrollment request for the new programme within a deadline.

  This shows that subject change is a transfer or higher-semester enrollment procedure, not ordinary programme choice inside a shared study architecture.

• Acquiring key competencies at Göttingen University https://www.uni-goettingen.de/en/196183.html

  The page states that 10 percent of every University of Göttingen degree programme must be in key competencies.

  There is a broad key-competency offer open to all students: courses from central institutions, including ZESS, and modules from many degree programmes.

  University-wide key competency modules are divided into 15 competency areas. This supports broad internal course choice rather than only a restricted 1-of-N block.

• Virtual Exchange for students https://www.uni-goettingen.de/en/virtual+exchange+for+students/653914.html

  The Virtual Exchange page mentions online courses with academic credit, ECTS, and courses from a university abroad.

  This source is retained as boundary evidence: it confirms potential external learning activity, but does not prove a standing external individual-course catalogue with automatic credit counting for the dominant bachelor model.

• Virtual Exchange Abroad https://www.uni-goettingen.de/en/virtual+exchange+abroad/636244.html

  The page describes virtual exchange or virtual mobility courses from universities abroad, but the current partner-university section states that there are no offers at the time checked.

  Because no current external catalogue and predefined credit-counting mechanism is shown, this is not used for courseChoice = 4.

• THE World University Rankings 2026 https://www.timeshighereducation.com/world-university-rankings/university-gottingen

  The Times Higher Education profile lists University of Göttingen in World University Rankings 2026 with displayRank =122.

  The catalog stores the normalized the2026 value 122; RAEX 2026 is a Russian-university ranking, so the RAEX field is omitted.

• QS TopUniversities profile for University of Göttingen https://www.topuniversities.com/universities/university-gottingen

  The QS TopUniversities profile for the QS World University Rankings 2027 cycle reports 20,660 total students and UG students at 44%. On that basis, undergraduateEnrollment total is calculated as 9,090 students.

  The official Zahlen Daten Fakten section gives recent total student counts, but the public status and total-count tables do not split them into bachelor, state examination and other levels. Therefore bachelor remains null. The specialist degree level does not apply to the German model.
