Your overall average mark is calculated as a so-called weighted average. The weighted average is the overall average of all your grades relative to the ECTS weighting of the courses you have completed.
To calculate the weighted average for your programme or parts of your programme, you begin by multiplying all the grades you have earned in the period for which you want to calculate the average with the number of ECTS points that each course is equivalent to. Then you add up the results and divide that number with the number of ECTS points that the given period is equivalent to.
Example of a weighted average mark calculation for the 1st semester of the Bachelor’s degree programme in Marketing and Management Communication:
Communication Theory | 10 ECTS | Mark 10 | Weight 100 |
Research Methodology | 10 ECTS | Mark 02 | Weight 20 |
Economics | 10 ECTS | Mark 4 | Weight 40 |
