Acceptance into the honors program (master's degree)

Acceptance into the honors program takes place when the bachelor's degree was completed within the standard period of study or sooner and when the aggregate final grade is 1,3 or better or  the aggregate final grade is 1,9 or better and the student completed a minimum average of 35 credit points per term throughout the entire degree program,

or

after the first term (master's degree) when student's achievements to date indicate that s/he is capable of  completing the master's program within the standard period of study with an aggregate grade of 1,3 or better. An aggregate final grade of 1,9 or better also qualifies in the event that a heavier courseload of a minimum of 35 credit points is taken per term.
