The majority of undergraduates are under 25. At the same time, nearly one fifth are over 29, which provides an indication of the scope of further and continuing education at the University. The University offers a broad array of programs. The greatest numbers of students take the law, economics, and mathematics and science programs. The genders are evenly balanced in these programs.
Programs account for the largest share of educational offerings.
Commissioned education has increased as a result of the incorporation of the Nursing School by the University as of January 1, 1998. In undergraduate education students can choose either to follow a set program of studies or to take independent courses. The scope of the education is expressed in points, with one point corresponding to one week of full-time study. One academic year comprises 40 points and is divided into one autumn and one spring term. The first 20-point course in a subject is called an A course.
