The bachelor’s qualification thesis is assessed in points. The overall grade is calculated as the sum of the points awarded to the student during the thesis defense—applying specific weightings—and is converted according to the national grading scale (see Table 1). When the Examination Commission evaluates a bachelor’s qualification thesis, the student’s overall academic performance to date is not taken into account. The final grade is determined by calculating the arithmetic mean of the grades assigned by the Chair and the members of the Examination Commission.
