Universidade do PortoThe University of Porto uses the ECTS Grading system. The number of ECTS credits for each course reflects the total number of hours a student is expected to devote to the course (in the form of lectures, homework, reading, essays, consultations, seminars, etc.). 60 ECTS credits are attached to the workload of a full-time year of formal learning (academic year) and the associated learning outcomes. At the University of Porto, one credit corresponds to 27 hours of student total work.1 full academic year = 60 credits; 1 semester = 30 credits
Local Grades awarded on a scale of 0-20 (pass mark 10)
18 to 20 Excellent
16 and 17 Very good
14 and 15 Good
10 to 13 Sufficient
0 to 9 Fail
ECTS Grades: The ECTS grading scale is based on the percentile (similar but not identical to the class rank) of a student in a given assessment, that is how was his/her performance relatively to other students enrolled in the last three years of the same curricular unit/course (or in a significant group of students). Therefore, ECTS grade does not have a direct fixed correspondence to the local grade.
