Determining YOUR final grade
The final grade is given by the Graduation Examining Committee.  Its members evaluate the overall average grade of all the exams on a scale of 110.
Calculation of the Average grade for admission to the Final Examination 
The weighted average is calculated on the credits of your graded exams (pass-or-fail exams – without a grade -  are excluded from this calculation). The value is calculated as follows: 
a) Add the products given by the grade of each exam multiplied by its credits;
b) Divide a) by the sum of all credits:  
(Grade1 x Credits1) + (Grade2 x Credits2) + (Grade n x Credits n)                  
The number obtained with this formula is the Average grade expressed on a scale of 30.  In order to obtain the score expressed on a scale of 110:  Average grade on a scale of 30 x 110/30. 
Exams passed with honours do not have an impact on the Average grade. 
The Average grade is calculated on ALL graded exams to the second decimal position; there is no rounding. This Average grade is sent to the Graduation Examining Committee.      

Normally, the Graduation Examining Committee can add up to a maximum of 8 points, taking into consideration:
  • the work you have carried out for your thesis (dedication, autonomy, methodological rigour, the relevance of results, etc.);         
  • your thesis oral defence (clarity in presentation, etc.);
  • outstanding results achieved during your academic path (for instance, your experiences at foreign universities or research centres, extracurricular activities, participation in Student Teams or Student Societies, etc.)  
You may be awarded a degree with honours (cum laude) in accordance with the Regulations of your degree programme and with rules illustrated on the Notice Board of your degree programme.
