Single-Subject Bachelor
Within the Single-Subject Bachelor's Program you study one subject. During the studies, you will lay the academic foundation for a professional activity or an academic career. After just six semesters, you can leave the university with a professional qualification or continue on to a Master's degree.
Depending on the subject you choose, you will be awarded the academic title Bachelor of Arts (B.A.), Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) or Bachelor of Laws (LL.B.).
Single-Subject Bachelors programs are often multilingual.
The ECTS (European Credit Transfer System) is used to assess academic achievements. This also applies in many other countries and facilitates the mutual recognition of academic achievements.
Regulations and module descriptions
Click on your subject to find the admission and examination regulations as well as module descriptions relevant to your Single-Subject Bachelor's degree program.
Which is which?
Subject-specific access regulations specify which requirements you must fulfil to be admitted to a Bachelor's or Master's degree program, e.g. language skills or prior knowledge of the subject. If there are no access regulations for your subject, you will find all the necessary information in the interdisciplinary requirements for a degree program.
Subject-specific admission regulations determine how places are allocated in degree programs which are subject to admission restrictions.
The examination regulations contain legally binding regulations on the timing, content and organisation of the respective degree program. These include information on program content (mandatory and mandatory elective modules) and examinations (requirements, repeatability, free attempt).
General Examination Regulations
The General Examination Regulations (PDF, 671 kB) apply to students of almost all degree programs. These contain general regulations and other regulations applicable to all degree programs.
Program-Specific Examination Regulations
Program-specific examination regulations contain regulations that only apply to one degree program. For example, they determine which degree is awarded upon graduation.
Subject-Specific Parts
For multi-subject degree programs (e.g. dual-subject Bachelor degrees), additional subject-specific sections apply for the individual subjects in addition to the general examination regulations and the program-specific examination regulations, which regulate a range of factors including the modules you must study during your degree program.
A module is a single component of a program that is a complete learning unit in terms of content and time, in which students are taught skills and knowledge in a specific subject area. It is made up of various courses (e.g. seminars, lectures, practical courses). The module descriptions contain information on the workload, coursework and grading.
The program-specific examination regulations for single-subject degree programs and the relevant subject-specific and interdisciplinary sections for multi-subject degree programs (see "Examination Regulations") set out the modules you have to complete in your subject area.
