Grading

The CEMS MIM certificate will show grades using the ECTS grading scale. Based on the ECTS framework, a grading scale has been developed to facilitate the understanding and comparison of grades given according to different national systems. It has no national reference point and is intended to provide an objective evaluation of student abilities relative to those of other students within the same system. The ECTS grading scale is based on the rank of a student in a given assessment, i.e. how s/he performed relative to other students.

Those who have not achieved a sufficiently high level to be awarded a pass grade get:

F (Fail – considerable further work is required)

For Block Seminars, CEMS Courses and Business Projects, the ECTS “A to F” grading scale is used. Skill Seminars and the Global Citizenship Seminar use “Pass” and “Fail” grades.

Translation of local grades to this scale is up to the grading institution. Please refer to an indicative guide on the local grade conversion to CEMS grades.

For the language tests, the language levels of the CEFR for languages are used.
