Examination performance is scored 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). 

All first-year requirements from laboratory exercises must be met and at least 18 ECTS credits accumulated for progression to the second year. The subjects completed must include Didactics of chemistry 1 and Experiments 1. In order to progress to a higher year, students must also meet the conditions envisaged by the other selected two-subject study programme.

Third-cycle doctoral study programmes (SQF level 10)

Students must complete all requirements defined by the study programme in order to complete their studies.
