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

This question is compulsory

*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?

This question is compulsory

*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?

This question is compulsory

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.
