<div><h3><strong>Grading scale</strong></h3><p>Tampere University uses the <a href="/en/node/60805?channel=study_guide&organisation=uni&targeting_set=uni_student" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-entity-type="node" data-entity-uuid="0cfce021-8a53-4135-9dcd-7ab981c0bf67" data-entity-substitution="canonical">official ECTS grading scale</a> from <strong>1 to 5</strong>, where 1 is the lowest passing grade and 5 is the highest. Grades cannot be converted to another scale, such as a 10-point or 100-point scale. Your home university is responsible for any conversion required for credit recognition.</p><h3><strong>Pass or fail courses</strong></h3><p>Some courses are assessed as <strong>PASS or FAIL</strong> and do not receive a numerical grade. A Pass confirms that you have met the course requirements and earned the stated number of credits. Before taking a Pass or Fail course, check that your home university accepts this assessment method. <strong>A PASS grade cannot later be converted into a numerical grade.</strong></p></div>
