1. The bachelor of bio-engineering sciences should have a sufficiently broad background or basic knowledge. He/she should have sufficient insight in order to be able to apply this basic knowledge to systems and processes and to use the necessary knowledge starting from the problem. Therefore the bachelor should
a have sufficient scientific basic knowledge - biology, biochemistry, chemistry, ecology, physics, mathematics, information sciences and statistics.
b have sufficient insight to be able to apply his/her scientific knowledge within his/her discipline
c be able to find, understand and value scientific information in his/her discipline
d be able to recognize and describe problems
e have insight in simple scientific models and their field of application
f be able to critically analyze and treat the results of a simple experiment
g be able to integrate the organisation levels of living matter in interdisciplinary insights, using different knowledge disciplines (cfr 1a)
h have sufficient knowledge of and insight in the basic economic principles in order to place production processes in the correct socio-economic context.
2. The bachelor of bio-engineering sciences has the skills for analytical thinking and reasoning. The bachelor
a is capable of formal thinking and deductive reasoning with sufficient critical sense and creativity.

A student’s final result is a weighted average of the exam results the student has obtained for all the programme components of his/her training programme. In calculating the final result, the credits corresponding to the various programme components are used for weighting the results obtained for those components.
The final result is expressed as an integer out of 100.
A student whose final result is less than 50 out of 100 can never be declared successful.
A student is successful for the Bachelor’s programme if he/she has obtained credits for all the programme components in his/her training programme.
The examination board can declare a student who has not obtained credits for all the programme components successful if it can substantiate why it believes that the objectives of the programme have been achieved.
For more information see the Education and Examination regulation.
