Grade conversion tables for study abroad

NB These tables should only be used to convert grades FROM study abroad TO University of Glasgow

grades. They should NOT be used to indicate the equivalence of University of Glasgow Grades to those

from other institutions. Translation of Grades Working Group November 2020 [minor updates August 2021] 2

Rationale

The University of Queensland uses a different scale which precludes it from the national table above.

Currently, Glasgow uses a unique conversion table for each of its Australian partners, notably with varying

cut off points for failing grades (see QUT 7-point scale). Generally, Glasgow is more lenient particularly in

the lower part of the spectrum than other UK institutions and so this national table attempts to

standardise the grade classifications.

decimal points. Grades at Czech universities have been assigned with corresponding ECTS grades, which

are then converted into Glasgow grades.

Rationale

This conversion table is a hybrid of the tables for Warsaw University and Kozminski University. Polish

universities use a 5-point scale. However, the University of Warsaw awards a higher distinction grade 5

and so an A1 mark has been utilised for the Glasgow conversion table. Furthermore, Kozminski University

has two distinct fail grades and so both of these grade classifications have been included.

The Romanian grading system is based on a 10-point scale. The Glasgow grades reflect the direct ECTS

conversion. A 7-8 grade in Romania is equivalent to an ECTS grade C. These have been separated into upper (8 = B3) and lower (7 = C2) classifications.

Rationale

Korea University is unlike the Seoul National University and Yonsei University because it uses a 4.5 scale

rather than a 4.3 scale. The Glasgow grades have been produced based on the current national conversion

table for USA/Korea and the percentage worth of the Korea University grades. For more detail, see the attached rationale document.

This table was suggested by the Translation of Grades from Study Abroad Sub-Committee in Dec

2018. It will be reviewed as data on grades achieved by students is gathered.

Rationale

Swedish universities use unique grading scales and so there are a range of practices. Therefore, each

partner requires a specific table.

students.
