Transfer is possible from all comparable accredited academic and professional study programmes in the fields of life sciences, agriculture, forestry, fishing and environmental protection, to the same or higher year if a student meets the study requirements for admission to the First Cycle Academic Study Programme in Microbiology. Transfer is permitted if a minimum of half of the study requirements of the former study programme are confirmed.

In approving a transfer and determining any additional requirements, the Commission for Undergraduate Study of the Collegiate Body of Microbiology specifies which courses can be confirmed and to what extent and specifies additional requirements for a total of 10 to 60 credits. On the basis of this decision, the Commission specifies the year into which a student may transfer.
