BACHELOR, STATE EXAMINATION
The Bachelor's degree is the first academic degree and professional qualification of a multi-level study model.
A state examination is taken in those courses of study in which the state is primarily the future employer and in which the state community has a special interest in a qualified education - for example, among doctors, pharmacists and lawyers. In courses of study that conclude with the state examination, training and examinations are regulated uniformly by the state or federal legislature.
