Conversion Guide

Credits

1 ECTS credit represents approximately 25-30 hours of study.

Mapping

We map ECTS passing grades (A-E) to the US 4.0 scale using ECTS Users' Guide standards.

Our ECTS conversion model uses institutional averages to ensure accuracy across different European national systems.

Understanding ECTS Grades

The ECTS grading scale is a relative ranking system. Unlike absolute scales, ECTS grades (A through F) are based on the student's performance relative to others in the same cohort.

A
Outstanding — Top 10% of students
B
Very Good — Next 25% of students
C
Good — Next 30% of students

ECTS to US Conversion Tips

When converting to the US system, most institutions treat 2 ECTS credits as 1 US semester credit hour.

Always verify if your institution uses ECTS absolute or relative scales.

Check if "Fail" grades (FX/F) are included in your CGPA calculation.
