Faculty of Life & Earth Sciences
Science is in permanent evolution. BIU online university courses from this faculty allow access to specializations in which the student can choose the topics of his or her interest in order to design a distance learning degree program completely adapted to his or her vocation. There are usually no impediments for the professional practice of these disciplines at medium level scientific posts, at managerial positions, or from a vocational point of view. A distance education university is not the best option for advanced scientific research. Admission into these programs is restricted and limited to qualified candidates with demonstrated theoretical and technical knowledge in their fields of study due to the fact that many of the credits required in scientific specializations cannot be provided effectively through distance learning higher education. A BIU online university degree constitutes an effective way to complement a traditional scientific background with innovative approaches and further specialization.
Bachelor's Degree (B.A., B.S., B.B.A.)
The Bachelor's online university degree and the Higher Diploma provide students with comprehensive knowledge in specific fields of study. Students acquire a full understanding of all subjects related to the major. A Bachelor's is the equivalent to a four year college degree and a Higher Diploma is the equivalent of 3 years of study. The course curricula of both, the Bachelor's degree and the Higher Diploma, are entirely based on published textbook material and adjusted to the student's personal goals. The final exam consists on writing several 20 to 35 pages reports based on each of the textbooks assigned. BACHELOR'S DEGREE (B.A., B.S., B.B.A. - 130 credits)
