Grade conversion with the "Bayerische Formel"
This grade conversion guide provides assistance in converting grades on certificates issued abroad. Please note that this is a conversion for orientation only and not a binding indication. The so-called “modified Bayerische Formel” is used for the conversion.
(opens in new tab) Further information can be found in the "Decision of the Standing Conference of the Ministers of Education and Cultural Affairs of the States in the Federal Republic of Germany on the Determination of the Overall Grade for Foreign Higher Education Entrance Certificates" (PDF).
Grade coversion
Please enter grades with decimal places with a dot in place of the comma. Example: 2,3 becomes 2.3
- In the first line, enter the best grade that can be achieved in the grading system of your school or university.
- In the second line, enter the grade in the grading system of your school or university that would just about pass an examination.
- In the third line, enter your current overall grade.
If you click on CALCULATE after entering the three grades, the equivalent of your grade in the German system will be displayed. Here, 1.0 is the best grade and 4.0 is the grade that would just about pass an examination.
