Grade Point Average converter
How to calculate your own Grade Point Average (GPA).
Calculation of GPA based on diplomas with alphabetical grades on the ECTS scale
- Each alphabetical grade is substituted by numerical equivalent: A=5.0, B=4.0, C=3.0, D=2.0 and E=1.0
- The numerical equivalent is multiplied by the number of credits for the course
- The products of the course and credits are totalled
- The sum is divided by the total number of credits
- The quotient is calculated to three decimal points
- In the application form we have grouped GPA ranges together. Please select the one that your calculated GPA sits within
E.g. If your GPA is 3.83 then you should select 4-3
Example
You have finished a bachelor's degree consisting of 30 courses each valued at 6 ECTS credits. You have received 10 As, 5 Bs, and 15 Cs.
To calculate the GPA:
- Multiply the grade (A=5, B=4...) by the number of ECTS credits
- Multiple the number of courses with the same grade and add them together-> in this example (5x6x10)+(4x6x5)+(3x6x15)=690
- Divide the total by the total ECTS credits to find the grade per ECTS, the Grade Point Average -> 690/180=3.83
