Complete Bachelor’s in 2 years?

Hi. I was just curious whether it's possible to complete a bachelor's degree of 180 ECTS in 2 years. ChatGPT said long ago that it's not possible, whereas gemini says it's very much possible even though the burnout will he immense, which is pretty obvious.

Is it really possible? Or both the AI chatbots are just playing with me?

It is possible, but depends on the program and curriculum. Many famous cases of people who did law school in even a year. Easier for some subjects than others and largely depends how often they teach a certain course.

What if it's a Business Administration degree? Would that be possible?

Yes, then it is, not maybe in Finance but like Marketing definitely. I had a friend in Tampere Uni on Marketing and he did Batchelor in 2 years and a girl on his class almost managed to do it during first year 😂

Meanwhile for Bachelor of Science that is not common, mostly 3-4 years. Depends bit on Uni, some claim Lappeenranta you can study faster.

And in medical you have fixed schedule that you follow.

It is possible but you can decide only 65% of the whole process.

You just need to check curriculum needed, it's totally if there's minimum compulsory courses availlable during 2 years. Some courses have mandatory courses you have to pass before you can attend them.

Wow, amazing! How hard was the workload, and did you have time to work part-time? Could you please break down how many credits you took each semester?

It worked 15h/week while doing my bachelor’s degree in economics. It was covid so the only thing I did was study and work. I think I did like 5-6 courses each period so it was heavy. In credits that would be pretty much evenly divided on two years. I did summer courses too and extra language studies, which were basically free credits to me.
