What is a Bachelor’s degree program?
A Bachelor’s degree is an academic degree program that is the first degree that can be gained at university level. It usually lasts six semesters. During their Bachelor’s degree program, students complete a range of compulsory and compulsory elective modules that are tailored to their chosen subject. These modules can include lectures, seminars, practical exercises and lab work, for example. A Bachelor’s degree is usually completed by writing a Bachelor’s thesis, after which students are awarded their Bachelor’s degree.
