In the period of two to three weeks, graduates of the Bachelor’s program in Communication Studies will be awarded the Bachelor’s certificate, thereby conferring the academic degree “Bachelor of Arts” (abbreviated “BA”). The certificate can then be collected from the Examination Secretariat. It is also possible to ask for the average grade to be calculated at the time of collection. This takes approximately one hour.
