Students' knowledge is assessed by means of practical classes and seminar papers, and also via products, projects, performances, services, etc. and by examinations. Examination performance is graded as follows: 10 (excellent); 9 (very good: above-average knowledge but with some mistakes); 8 (very good: solid results); 7 (good); 6 (adequate: knowledge satisfies minimum criteria); 5–1 (inadequate). In order to pass an examination, a candidate must achieve a grade between adequate (6) and excellent (10).

Progress from the first to the second year requires the completion of all study obligations and practical classes, as well as examinations in the amount of 45 out of a total of 60 credits (75%). In order to advance to the second year, students must pass the following examinations: Mathematics, Chemistry, Biomechanics, Molecular biology and Systems biology. To advance from the second to the third year, students must complete all the first-year obligations (60 credits) and complete at least 45 credits from the second year, including the obligatory passing of the following examinations: IT basics, Botany and Basics of plant production.

Second-cycle master's study programmes (SQF level 8)
