Grade conversion system
The Flemish academic grading system is based on a mark between 1 and 20. A mark of 10 or more represents a ‘pass’, in which case credits are awarded. Less than 10 means ‘fail’.
| AP | ECTS grade |
| 17-18-19-20 | Greatest distinction (EXCELLENT) |
| 15-16 | Great distinction (VERY GOOD) |
| 13-14 | Distinction (GOOD) |
| 10-11-12 | Sufficient (SUFFICIENT) |
| <10 | Failed (FAIL) |
- PASS: You have obtained a 'pass' grade for a course which was not evaluated on a 0 to 20 scale.
- FAIL: You have obtained a 'fail' grade for a course which was not evaluated on a 0 to 20 scale.
