Azerbaijani official: Students require credit score to obtain degree without examination

The Azerbaijani higher educational institutions’ students will be able to obtain their degree without requiring the completion of further exams, provided that they earn the required credit scores.

"If a student earned the required points, then he or she will receive a diploma," the Education Minister Misir Mardanov told reporters on Friday.

Based on the Bologna system, a student must score a certain number of credits to graduate from the institutions of higher education. Mardanov said this practice is applied throughout the world.

"The Azerbaijan Languages University has been selected as a pilot institution. If the result is positive, the system will be applied to other universities," he said.
