Regl. 2024: Courses and credit points
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.
In the Bologna model, course achievement is measured in credit points (CP). Approximately 30 hours of study yields 1 credit point (CP).
The Bachelor's programme comprises 180 CP and includes courses in fundamental subjects such as biology, chemistry, mathematics, physics, economy and law.
Block examinations
The first-year examination in Year 1 (in 2 parts) and the examination block in Year 2 take place during the semester breaks and are organised as session examinations. With examination blocks, the grade average from the individually weighted exams must be at least a 4.0.
Overviews of the subjects to be taken in the first-year examination and in the examination block, and the credits to be earned, are published in the Study Guide in the Documents section.
Information about the performance assessement of each course unit is published in the course catalogue. The information published in the course catalogue is binding.
More information about performance assessments and details about examination types can be found on the student portal.
