GRADINGS OF THE DEGREE IN CHEMISTRY 

 

ECTS Grading Scale

Definition

UBU Grades

A

outstanding performance with only minor errors

Matrícula de Honor (9.5-10)

B

above the average standard but with some errors

Sobresaliente (8.6-9.4)

C

generally sound work with a number of notable errors

Notable (6.6-8.5)

D

fair but with significant shortcomings

Aprobado (5.6-6.5)

E

performance meets the minimum criteria

Aprobado (5.0-5.5)

FX

Fail - some more work required before the credit can be awarded

Suspenso (3.0-4.9)

F

Fail - considerable further work is required

Suspenso (0.0-2.9)

Note: The ECTS system initially divided students between pass and fail groups and then assessed the performance of these two groups separately. Those obtaining passing grades were divided into five subgroups: the best 10% are awarded an A grade, the next 25% a B grade, the following 30% a C, the following 25% a D and the final 10% an E. Those who had not achieved a performance sufficient to allow a passing grade were divided into two subgroups: FX (Fail - some more work required before credit can be awarded) and F (Fail - considerable further work is required). This distinction allowed differentiation between those students who had been assessed as almost passing and those who had clearly lacked the required knowledge and skills.
