The highest possible vote is 110/110 and it can be attributed with honour ( lode ) the minimum 66. A grade less than 66 implies rejection. The final graduation grade is obtained this way: The mean of the exams are the starting point to which the points for the degree are added: Mean of the exams (= starting point ) + degree points = final graduation grade The mean of the exam grades is calculated and then reported into one-hundred-and tenths: For example, if your exams grades are 26, 28, 30, 27 and 30L (Lode), your mean is 28,2. The mean has to be converted in 110: (28,2 x 110)/30 = 103,4 To the mean for every exam with attribution lode 0,5 points are added: 103,4 + 0,5 = 103,9 The value is rounded to the next whole number: 104. This is your starting point for graduation. To this starting point the degree points will be added: points depending on the quality of your dissertation, decided by your supervisor) points depending on the external reviewer s opinion (if requested by the student) points depending on the judgment of Thesis Defence Committee In other words the minimum is 0 up to the maximum of 8 points. The sum of the mean of the exams and the degree point cannot exceed the grade of 110 but it can be added the attribution with honour (Lode). The transcript of the final degree certificate does not contain the grade for the dissertation and discussion. You will find there just passed and 30 credits assigned. Anyway the degree points will be communicated to the other partner universities where a grade for the theses is required. In that case the marks are established as follow: A: 6-8 points B: 4-5 points C: < 4 points The lower marks will not be considered because the supervisors will not allow you to take part to the theses discussion.
