Regl. 2016: Courses and credit points
In the Bologna model, course achievement is measured in credit points (CP). Approximately 30 hours of study yields 1 credit point (CP). The Bachelor programme comprises 180 CP and includes courses in fundamental subjects such as biology, chemistry, mathematics, physics, economy and law.
The performance assessments are based on the credit system according to the Bologna declaration. Credit points are awarded based on examinations or active participation (excursions) or submission of written reports, practicals etc. CP are only awarded for a successful performance.
