Psychology in Germany

Psychology at a German university: a 1.0 grade

At universities such as LMU and Münster, Psychology places go mainly by grade, and the cut-offs sit at the top of the scale. LMU Munich's Psychology BSc closed at 1.0 in its grade quota for the winter semester 2026/27, and Münster's closed at 1.0 for the winter semester 2025/26. On the KMK conversion, a 1.0 means 42 points or more, with the TOK and Extended Essay points included; the full table is on our home page.

LMU also fills a second quota with a combination of the grade and the BaPsy-DGPs, a psychology aptitude test; in 2026/27 that quota's cut-off was 1.66 rather than 1.0. LMU's selection page says the procedure will be redesigned for 2027/28, so check it when you apply.

IB Psychology is on the KMK's list of social sciences, so it can fill that place in a recognised diploma. Switzerland treats it differently: swissuniversities does not count Psychology as one of its category subjects, Basel accepting it only as the elective, so a Swiss application needs another group 3 subject such as Geography.

The course

The new Psychology course, first examined in May 2027

Students graduating in 2027 are the first cohort on the redesigned IB Psychology course. It is organised in three layers, and the coursework has changed more than anything else.

  • Content. Research methods, plus the three approaches to behaviour: biological, cognitive, sociocultural.
  • Four contexts, all compulsory. Learning and cognition; human relationships; human development; and health and well-being, the successor to abnormal psychology.
  • Six concepts. Answers are framed and judged through causality, bias, measurement, change, responsibility and perspective.
  • Papers. Paper 1 and Paper 2 last 1 hour 30 each; Paper 2 draws on the practicals run in class. Paper 3, at HL only, tests research methods on data you haven't seen.
  • A research proposal. The IA no longer asks you to run an experiment: you plan a study that tackles a real-world problem, within 2,200 words, for 24 marks.
How students do

Psychology grades worldwide

Only 5.2% of Psychology candidates gained a 7 in May 2025, and the 28,659 students averaged 4.6 worldwide, with HL (4.8) ahead of SL (4.4). For a student aiming at 42 points, the step from a 6 to a 7 in Psychology is one point of that total.

These figures describe the old course. Results for the redesigned one appear for the first time in July 2027, and lessons with us are planned around its papers.

New-course Psychology: SL or HL?

Content, contexts, concepts and the proposal are common to both levels. The HL difference is the extension material and the data paper, which rewards students who read graphs and tables confidently.

Reviews

Psychology students and families on Lanterna

“Every tutor we met through Lanterna was not only academically outstanding but also remarkably patient, encouraging, and generous with their time. They helped my daughter grow into a stronger and more independent learner. We feel incredibly fortunate that such exceptional former IBDP students became her mentors.”
Bobby
“My daughter (grade 12 IB) went from tears and a disastrous draft Math IA to submitting a passing IA that she's proud of. I will not hesitate to book Lanterna again as needed. Thank you!”
“My daughter (grade 12 IB) went from” Mathematics
“I chose Ania Habibi, who is an IB Examiner for English A and I was incredibly happy with my choice. She was exceptionally knowledgeable and my work greatly improved. Additionally, she was extremely kind and supportive, allowing my confidence to increase tremendously.”

FAQs

IB Psychology tutoring in Germany: what families ask

Where can I find an IB Psychology tutor in Germany for the new course?

Book a free Lanterna consultation and mention that you are on the redesigned course. Because the old options and the experiment IA are gone, we suggest Psychology tutors who teach the new structure. Lessons are online, so whether you live in Berlin or Frankfurt, the choice is the same.

My child needs a 1.0 to study Psychology in Germany. Can tutoring help?

It can help, but no tutor can promise a 1.0, which on the official conversion means 42 points or more, counting the TOK and Extended Essay points. Every subject counts towards that total, so the useful question is where the missing points are most likely to come from. In the consultation we look at current grades across the diploma and suggest where lessons, in Psychology or elsewhere, would make the biggest difference.

Is a tutor allowed to help with the Psychology research proposal?

Yes, as long as the help is teaching. Your tutor can unpack the marking criteria, show how strong proposals justify their sample and method, and discuss the ethics of a design. Picking the problem, planning the study and writing it up are your job, and draft feedback comes from your teacher alone. Our IA page sets out the limits.

How will I know whether IB Psychology tutoring is working before the next school report?

Agree at the start what you want to see. Timed practice answers, marked against the published criteria, give a clear sign of progress, and your tutor can set them regularly. If the plan needs to change, tell us and we adjust the focus or the lesson frequency.

What is the price of IB Psychology tutoring in Germany?

Private online Psychology lessons cost from €63 an hour, and hours get cheaper on bigger packages. Lanterna students gain 1.5+ grades on average across all subjects; your own result will depend on where you start and how often you have lessons.

Can Psychology lessons fit around a school day in Germany?

Yes. Lessons are booked on Central European Time at times you agree with your tutor, often late afternoons, evenings or weekends. In the weeks before the May exams you can add lessons, and you can pause over holidays.
