Study modules are graded based on the weighted average of the grades of the included courses, calculated as follows:
• Average 1.00–1.49 = Grade 1/5 (Sufficient)
• Average 1.50–2.49 = Grade 2/5 (Satisfactory)
• Average 2.50–3.49 = Grade 3/5 (Good)
• Average 3.50–4.49 = Grade 4/5 (Very Good)
• Average 4.50–5.00 = Grade 5/5 (Excellent)
Calculation of the Weighted Average
• The numerical grade of each course is multiplied by the number of credits.
• The resulting values are summed and divided by the total number of credits of the numerically graded courses.
• The grade of the Bachelor's thesis or the intermediate-level thesis affects the grade of the intermediate-level study module.
• The grade of the Master’s thesis or a minor subject thesis does not affect the grade of the advanced-level study module.
• Courses assessed with the grade “pass” are not included in the final grade calculation.
• If at least 33% of the total credits in the study module have been assessed or recognised numerically, the module is graded numerically. Otherwise, the grade of the module is “pass.”
The curriculum may specify exceptions to the above for justified reasons.
