How do the minor studies credits relate to the students main studying program credits?

Minor studies subjects are counted in the overall semester average.

Credits for the minor studies program are included in the total number of study credits. The volume of minor studies is 40 or 60 credits. University subjects of Artes Liberales may be included as undergraduate subjects in the main study program. A student who freely chooses to study minor studies uses the credits allocated for university artes liberales group B study subjects for these studies.

If designed in the study program, i. y. the study programs provide for and specify studies in a related field (including minor studies in pedagogy for the acquisition of a teacher’s qualification), 60 credits are allocated to them. If the study program does not provide for studies in a related field and students choose minor studies outside the study program, the volume of such studies shall not exceed 40 credits.

Will a student receive a second bachelor’s degree after completing minor studies?

No, upon completion of minor studies, a certificate of minor studies is issued.
