What are the different international grading systems?

There are several international grading systems, including the GPA system used in the US, the A-F grading scale, and the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS). Each has its own criteria and conversion methods.

How does the GPA system work?

The GPA system typically uses a scale from 0.0 to 4.0, where each letter grade corresponds to a specific point value. For example, an A is usually worth 4.0, a B is 3.0, and so on. The GPA is calculated by averaging these points based on the credit hours of each course.

What is the ECTS and how is it different?

The ECTS is a system used in Europe that allows for the transfer of academic credits between institutions. It typically uses a scale of 1 to 30, where 30 credits represent a full academic year of study. This system emphasizes student workload and learning outcomes.

Can you convert my GPA to ECTS?

Yes, I can help with that! To convert your GPA to ECTS, I would need to know your GPA and the grading scale used by your institution.
