Grades

How to get grades

To get a grade, you have to finish a module completely. That means registering for every course that belongs to the module and passing all examinations associated with that module. Single courses or examinations do not grant you any grades or ECTS points, but only entire modules.

Instructors will enter your grades to the campus-management site Marvin. Then, your departmental coordinators will enter them to Mobility Online, whereafter the International Office will issue your transcript or records. 

Grading system

The grades you can achieve range from 0 to 15 points. In the table below, you can see what each grade means, and how it is convertable to a scale of 1 to 6. In most courses you pass when getting more than 50 %, in some you only need 40 % to pass.
