3. Bachelor's degree (or comparable qualification) of applicant

If you have multiple degrees, state the bachelor's degree most relevant to this application here.

Competence shown by other means than a formal Bachelor's degree

I will not obtain a formal degree from an accredited university, but I can still prove that I have a competence corresponding to a Bachelor's degree.

*Have your competence already been assessed to be comparable to a bachelor's degree?

Yes
No

This question is compulsory

*Accrediting institution

Specify the name and country of the institution that assessed and approved your previous competence. Specify he subject of the corresponding bachelor's degree and the date for the decision.

This question is compulsory

*Proof of competence equivalent to a bachelor's degree

Give a short account of the proofs you supply to show that your competence is equivalent to a bachelor's degree.

This question is compulsory

*3.1 Name of the country where the bachelor's degree is issued or will be issued

4. Overall study performance (Bachelor's degree)

*4.1 Number of credits equivalent to one year of full-time studies

Use the credit system at your home university. For example, if the total number of credits required for graduation is 128 and the programme duration is 4 years, the number of credits equivalent to one year of full-time studies is 32 credits.

This question is compulsory

ECTS Credits

For the below questions you must convert the credits into the ECTS credit scale. ECTS stands for the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System, where 60 ECTS credits corresponds to one full year of studies. If your home university does not offer an official conversion of your credits into ECTS credits, estimate the corresponding ECTS credits for each of your courses through the following formula:

ECTS credits for course Y = 60 x (credits for course Y at your home university) / ( Number of credits equivalent to one year of full-time studies).

Example: A course from an Indian university has 5 local credit points. The total number of credit points per year stated in the transcript is 32. Then the equivalent ECTS is 60*5/32 = 9.4 ECTS.

*4.2 ECTS credits in total required for your bachelor's degree

This question is compulsory

*4.3 ECTS credits passed so far

This question is compulsory

*4.4 Your local grading system

The local grading system is predominately based on ...

• If both numeric and letter grades are used in parallel, please specify the numeric scale here and use that consequently in the questions below.

• If you have been assessed through several different grading systems, please choose the most predominant grading system here and only use data from that grading system when answering the questions below

Numeric grades
Letter grades, with established numeric mapping
Letter grades, without established numeric mapping
Pass/Fail grades

This question is compulsory

*4.4.1 List of possible pass grades

List all possible passing grades, ordered from highest to lowest. For example A; B; C; D; E or AA; BA; BB; CB; CC; DC; DD

List the corresponding numerical values (as used in the official GPA calculation of the university) in the row below each alphabetic grade.

	Highest grade	2nd highest	3rd	4th	5th	6th	7th	8th	9th	10th	11th	12th
Alphabetic grades, ordered from lowest to highest
Corresponding values in official GPA calculation

*4.4.1 List of possible pass grades

List all possible passing grades, ordered from highest to lowest. For example A; B; C; D; E or AA; BA; BB; CB; CC; DC; DD

Fill in corresponding integers to the grades in the following way. Assign the numeric value '1' for the lowest possible pass grade, the numeric value '2' for the next lowest pass grade and so on until the highest grade. For example - if your grading scale has passing grades A,B,C,D,E with A as the highest grade and E as the lowest passing grade, then you assign the integer values as E=1, D=2, C=3, B=4 and A=5.

	Highest grade	2nd highest	3rd	4th	5th	6th	7th	8th	9th	10th	11th	12th
Alphabetic grades, ordered from lowest to highest
Own scale for GPA calculation

*4.5 Total range of the numeric grades

If your university use letter grades, you should use exactly the same numeric scale as defined in question 4.4.1 here and in the following questions.

Highest grade
Lowest grade

*4.6 Lowest passing grade for obtaining the degree

At some universities, there are additional requirements that the average grade must be higher than a certain value to obtain a bachelor's degree. Which is the lowest average grade that is required at your university to obtain the bachelor's degree?

4.7 Grounds for GPA calculation

Is there an official calculation of an overall grade point average (usually referred to as GPA or simply CGPA) at the certificate issued by your university?

Yes
No

4.7.1 Cumulative GPA - official calculation

Grade point average for your full education.

4.7.1 Cumulative GPA - own calculation

This option should only be used if your university do not supply you with an official GPA. You calculate the cumulative GPA using the following instructions (only include courses in your bachelor degree that uses the grading system you have chosen above, in the calculation).

Step 1: Multiply (grade value x course credits) for each of the courses

Step 2: Sum all values from Step 1 to a total sum (Sum of (grade values x course credits))

Step 3: Sum all the course credits used in Step 1 to a total sum (Sum of (course credits))

Step 4: Divide the result from Step 2 with the result from Step 4. This is the value that you should give below.

4.8 Relative performance

Convert your GPA into a relative percentage value using the following formula:

Relative performance = 50 + 50*(GPA from 4.7.1 - lowest grade for degree from 4.6) / (Highest grade from 4.5 - lowest grade for degree from 4.6)

Check: Your calculation should lead to a numeric value in the range [50...100]

4.9 Additional information concerning grading systems

If a significant amount of your credits (>10%) uses a different grading system than specifed above (for example if you have been on exchange studies or if your university has changed grading system during your bachelor studies), please specify university and number of credits that have not been included in the calculations done above.
