Grade Conversion Tables for Study Abroad

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.

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.

3.0 Sufficient	D2
(2.5 Fail)	(E2)
2.0 Fail	F1

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.

D	1.00	D2
F	0.00	E2

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.

5.0-5.9	D2
4.0-4.9	E2
0.0-3.9	F2

Rationale

In Spain, universities use a standardised 10-point scale. This table is based on the existing conversion tables, while being more precise than some of those currently used.

The School of Law has noted a high incidence of A grades achieved by students returning from the University of Granada which indicates that the Spanish conversion table is out of step with marking practice on the LLB degree in Glasgow. The additional table, specific to Law at University of Granada, seeks to reflect student performance more accurately.

Rationale

Swedish universities use unique grading scales and so there are a range of practices. Therefore, each partner requires a specific table. In addition, each University, e.g. Lund, may operate a variety of scales across their faculties. Co-ordinators and students are advised to ascertain which scale is in use prior to grade conversion.

Rationale

This table is based on the conversion table for the University of Geneva. Note that this table is more specific and also more lenient than the current table for the University of Fribourg. This puts Glasgow’s conversions in line with the University of Bristol.

This table was expanded in August 2021 to reflect the full range of grades being reported by returning students.
