graduierbar

Graduierbar is a German adjective that describes something as being able to graduate or to lead to an academic degree. It is formed from the verb graduieren, which in university contexts means to confer a degree on a student. The term is primarily used in higher education administration, policy documents, and curriculum descriptions rather than in everyday speech.

In practical use, a study program, course of study, or qualification is described as graduierbar if completion is intended to result in an officially recognised degree (for example a bachelor’s or master’s degree) according to the applicable regulations. Conversely, a program described as not graduierbar would not lead to a formal degree within the current framework, often due to structure, credit requirements, or accreditation status.

The concept is commonly discussed alongside related ideas such as degree-award status, accreditation, and eligibility to graduate. In some texts, synonyms or near-synonyms such as abschussfähig (capable of completion) or programmatic phrasing like „zu einem Abschluss führend“ are used.

Related linguistic forms include Graduiert (a person who has completed a degree) and Graduiertbarkeit or Graduierbarkeit as noun forms in certain contexts, though these nouns are less common in everyday language and appear mainly in specialized or technical writings.
