Bachelor of Arts Degree Program Combinations
Each combined Bachelor of Arts program consists of 180 credit points (CP) to be earned for graduation. Out of these, 12 CP are allocated to the bachelor’s thesis at the end of the program and another 12 CP to the so-called electives, which complement the respective discipline with cross-disciplinary key competences as well as career orientation and practical training1. Most subjects that end with a Bachelor of Arts are offered at the University of Bonn’s Faculty of Arts. However, other faculties also offer subjects that may be combined with each other or with those at the Faculty of Arts.
