Calculation of the degree grade

Subject to the statutory prerogatives of the Degree Examination Committee, the calculation of the final degree grade is carried out according to the procedures outlined below:

  1. The graded educational activities included in the approved study plan contribute to a weighted average, which is converted to a 110-point scale and rounded to the nearest integer.
  2. Activities without a grade and those not included in the study plan, as well as surplus credits, do not contribute to this average.
    In calculating the average, exams awarded cum laude are valued at 32/30.
  3. The final examination (thesis defence) does not contribute to the average, but is assessed collectively by the Degree Examination Committee, which assigns an increment ranging from 1 to 7 points, taking into account the quality and originality of the thesis, the oral presentation, and the candidate’s overall academic record.
  4. If S is the sum of the rounded average and the increment:
    • if S is less than or equal to 110, then S is the final degree grade;
    • if S is equal to 111, the final degree grade is 110;
    • if S is greater than or equal to 112 and the candidate has obtained fewer than 5 points of increment for the final examination, the final degree grade is 110;
    • if greater than or equal to 112 and the candidate has obtained at least 5 points of increment for the final examination, the final degree grade is 110 cum laude (with honors).
