AP uses a grading system of 0-20 points. 10 to 20 are the passing marks, 0 to 9 are failing marks.
Grade conversion in ECTS is the translation of a grade obtained abroad (host grade) to the local grading scale of the student (home grade). ECTS grade conversion is mainly done in the context of student mobility such as in Erasmus+. It is always the responsibility of the home university to transfer grades obtained abroad to the final home grades mentioned on the Transcript of Records (TOR). AP University of Applied Sciences and Arts uses EGRACONS. The Egracons tool is an online Grade Conversion Tool that enables higher enables higher education institutions to objectively convert grades received by the exchange students abroad. Partner institutions are warmly recommended to join the tool Egracons.
In ECTS, 60 credits represent the workload of one year’s study or 30 credits for one full semester. Credits are awarded only when the course has been completed and all required examinations have been successfully taken.
