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

BASIC COUNTING	All marks from the profit examinations with marks in thirtieths are added together, including any supernumeraries from the Faculty of Education. 30 cum laude is counted as 32. For specialistica degree programmes only, the marks for any educational debts are also added. The sum thus obtained is divided by the number of examinations considered (average in thirtieths). The average in thirtieths thus obtained is divided by three and multiplied by eleven, thus obtaining the mark in 110ths
FINAL EXAMINATION MARK	0 to 10 points. A maximum of 3 points out of 10 may be allocated to the internship report. In the case of top marks and outstanding quality of the dissertation, the Commission may award honours
THEOLOGIES BONUS	1 point if the average mark is >= 29; 0.5 points if the average mark is < 29 and >= 26;
