Bachelor’s degree

After successfully obtaining the required 180 credits, students can apply to the Agricultural Sciences Student Administration Office for the Bachelor’s degree.

The Bachelor's degree must be applied for no later than five years after commencement of the Bachelor's programme. A maximum of 190 KP can be listed in the final certificate. Further services can be marked in the application and then appear on the supplementary sheet.

The overall average for the Bachelor's degree is calculated from the (CP) weighted grades of all subjects credited in the certificate. For block examinations, the grade average of the block, weighted with the total number of CPs, applies.

Degrees with an overall average of 5.75 and higher are shown on the diploma as “degree with distinction”.

The request must be made via myStudies. How do I submit the diploma application?
