Examination regulations and grading scale
The final evaluation of learning outcomes at the University is carried out on a single 100-point scale. The assessment of the applicant corresponds to the ratio established of the level of professional and general competencies to the planned learning outcomes (as a percentage). The minimum positive level of assessment is 60 points. According to the results of exams, according to the results of course and diploma works (projects); based on the results of work in practice, the student is also graded on a four-point scale: “Excellent” (90 – 100%), “Good” (75 – 89%), “Satisfactory” (60 – 74%), “Unsatisfactory” (0 – 59%). If the final exam is not conducted in the disciplines, the results of the applicant’s work are evaluated on a 2-point scale: “Passed” (60 – 100%) or “Fail” (0 – 59%).
