Baccalaureate studies at the FVU focus on the acquisition of theoretical and practical knowledge based on the current state of science or art and on mastering their application in the exercise of a profession or in the continuation of further higher education. Graduates of bachelor's degree programmes receive a first degree. FVU offers Bachelor's degree programmes in Arts only in full-time study, with a standard length of study of four academic years. Bachelor's studies are conducted in a credit system and the student must take compulsory, obligatory and elective courses according to the recommended study plan of the study programme he/she is studying. In one semester, the student should optimally take enough courses to reach 30 credits. For the entire course of study, he/she must obtain a minimum of 240 credits, which is a condition for the proper completion of the Bachelor's degree. Profile courses - The studios contribute substantially to the fulfilment of the profile of the graduate of the study programme. The first two years are of a preparatory nature, without a specific profiling of the student yet. At the beginning of the 3rd year of study, students have the opportunity to opt for a specific profiling. They can opt for one of the specifically focused studios on offer. The studies are completed by a state examination and by fulfilling all the requirements prescribed in the study programme. The state examination in the Bachelor's degree programme is the defence of the final thesis. Graduates of the bachelor's degree programme are awarded the academic title of 'baccalarius' (abbreviated as 'B.Sc.'), which is given before the name.
