All basic higher education is offered in the form of courses. There is scope for individual choice but students may combine different courses into a degree program. Study programs are divided into credits. One credit corresponds to one week of full-time study. One year usually represents 40 credits. The diploma is awarded after the completion of at least 80 credits. The Bachelor Degree is conferred after the completion of at least 120 credits. This is awarded by all universities and higher education institutions.

Doctoral studies consist of seminars, reading and methodology courses, individual literature surveys and independent research. The thesis must describe and account for organization and results of research, be published and be publicly defended.

The above is for all degrees of Doctor of Medicine, Master of science in Engineering and agriculture, as well as the Bachelor of Education for the Compulsory school.
