The following criteria are applied for the calculation of the final degree mark:

BASIC COUNTING	All the marks of the profit examinations are added together multiplied by the number of ECTS credits of each examination (30 cum laude is counted as 31), including any supernumerary examinations. Grades for 'Theology' examinations are excluded from the count. The sum is divided by the total weight in ECTS credits of the subjects considered (average in thirtieths). The average in thirtieths thus obtained is converted into 110ths by multiplying the value obtained by 11 and dividing it by 3.
FINAL TEST MARK	0 to 8 points

 

Students who matriculated before the a.y. 2013/14 can go to the Student Services Centre to check how the graduation average is calculated
