General
A. The Bachelor of Biology is able to critically analyze, describe, evaluate and solve a question or problem. With this in mind he/she is capable of formal thinking, logical deductive reasoning, he/she has a critical mind and has developed problem solving skills.
B. He/she has the knowledge and know-how to find more knowledge, and to evaluate, summarize and spread it, individually and as part of a team. This implies a basis of scientific communication, of co-ordination and organisation and structuring of work and of the use of the English language. He/she is being taught the attitudes of lifelong learning and reflection. He/she has the learning abilities to start an advanced study programma and this to a large extent autonomously.
C. The bachelor has the required methodological and experimental skills and the critical attitude to be able to carry out experimental observations by him/herself and to interpret these against the backgorund of the existing scientific paradigms.
D. The Bachelor of Biology is able to select the information he/she wants to pass on at a specific or a general (vulgarising) level, to correctly present information and data, and to express him/herself skilfully, both orally and in writing. He/she is able to explain or defend an argument.
Biology-specific
E. The Bachelor has a well-founded basic knowledge of the living world and of the relation between living matter and the abiotic environment. For this he/she should have a basic knowledge of the other natural sciences: chemistry, physics and mathematics.
F. He/She has a solid insight into the different life forms, the evolution of life, the genetic basis of life, the structure and functioning of living systems, cohabitation of different life forms and the relation between biota and abiota.
G. The Bachelor of Biology reflects upon the concepts of knowledge and life as well as upon the place of man in the world. If necessary he/she takes a well-reasoned stand.
H. The Bachelor of Biology can answer society’s general questions about living matter and the relation between man and the biosphere.
I. The Bachelor of Biology is aware of the function areas in which biologists are professionally active and which contribution the biologist can make. He/she is aware of the international context in which scientific research is situated.

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.
