OK, I did it. David.
Thanks, David. Much better than my original! :-) -grin
This article has quite a peculiar slant. The term Numerus clausus (sometimes abbreviated as NC) is quite common today in German-speaking countries. While in Austria there are no restrictions for students who have passed their Matura exams, at German universities such restrictions are reality. See, for example, this page (http://www.fu-berlin.de/studium/studiengaenge/faecher/ncmerkblatt.html) issued by the Freie Universität Berlin. I'm not that knowledgeable about how this system works in Germany but it certainly has to be added to this article. --KF 22:14, 28 Oct 2003 (UTC)
I have to agree. In Spain, Numerus clausus refers to the fact that the various faculties in a university restrict the number of incoming students to however many they think they can manage. What faculty a student is admitted to is determined by a combination of their university entry examination grade and baccalaureate grade. here (http://www.universia.es/contenidos/estudiantes/preguntas/Uninotas.htm#que_es) is a Spanish FAQ about it. — Miguel 00:53, 2004 May 3 (UTC)
I added something on the situation in Germany. Someone else might tackle Spain. By the way, the second and third external link are rather unenlightening. Burschik
