Nicolaus Copernicus University in ToruńThe Nicolaus Copernicus University follows the ECTS scheme, which means that ECTS credits are allocated to course units, lectures, practical works, etc. at each faculty. In ECTS, 60 credits represent one year of study (in terms of workload); normally 30 credits are given for six months (a term/semester).
The Polish grading system in higher education is based on the 5 to 2 scale, where 5 is the best mark and 2 is the worst.
Moreover, students can also be marked with additional signs of + and -. Each of them equals half a point: + means 0.5 more. Some courses, however, are not evaluated on such a marking scheme and for these a student may simply obtain zal. or zaliczenie (EN. ‘pass’) which means that their workload was satisfactory and they have passed the course.
