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

BASIC COUNTING	All grades of the profit examinations are added together multiplied by the number of ECTS credits of each examination (30 cum laude is counted as 30). Grades for the "Theology", Language, Computer Science and Internship examinations are excluded from the count. Supernumerary courses contribute to the average. 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 1 point
BONUS THEOLOGIES	1 point if the average mark is >= 27; 0.5 points if the average mark is <= 26 and >= 24   For students enrolled since the a.y. 2019/20: (at the discretion of the Degree Committee): 1.5 point if the average mark is 30 CUM LAUDE; 1 point if the average mark is: 30 to 29; 0.5 points if the average mark is 28 to 26; 0 points if the average mark is 25 to 18.
ACADEMIC CAREER RELAUNCH	66-70: max. 1 point 71-80: max. 2 points 81-90: max. 3 points 91-100: max. 4 points 101-110: max. 5 points
INTERNSHIP RELAUNCH	3 points according to the contents of the internship report; 2 points based on the submission of the internship report
BONUS FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDY EXPERIENCES	0 to 2 points
