FAU sets no minimum length or total credit count for the first degree - only a minimum of completed module credits for applying (135-150 ECTS depending on the programme (Faculty of Sciences)) - so a three-year bachelor's worth 180 ECTS qualifies. Applicants from outside the EU who cannot submit the degree certificate when they apply must submit it by enrolment at the latest.
