Grading scheme

Our study offer is organized in individual courses grouped into standard course units, which are offered to both regular and exchange students. Each course unit is assigned a number of ECTS credits. Students also have the possibility of making up their own tailor-made course units with a free choice of individual courses.

Assessment of individual courses is based on written exams, oral exams or written assignments, resulting on a national numerical mark between 0 and 20. The mark assigned to the overall course unit is a weighted average of the individual marks, based on the number of hours per individual courses.

In order to be awarded the number of credits corresponding to a course unit, the overall mark must be above 10/20.

Between 8/20 and 10/20, the student is awarded the FX grade, and under 8/20 the student will be awarded the F grade.

For standard course units, ECTS grades from A to E correspond to the usual percentages in the group of students who have taken the same unit:

- A = 10%

- B = 25%

- C = 30%

- D = 25%

- E = 10%

For tailor-made course units, the number of students following the same unit is not big enough to apply percentages. The following correspondence is then applied:

- A = mark above 15/20

- B = between 14 and 15

- C = between 12 and 14

- D = between 11 and 12

- E = between 10 and 11
