The organization of the study programmes uses modular components and European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS) with 30 credits corresponding to one semester.
Germany Higher Education Institutions have the following grading system:
| Diplom, Magister | Staatsexamen | ||
| Course certificates and individual parts of the exam | Based on the results of the individual parts of the exam, we calculate the subject grade and the overall grade as follows: | Teacher training course Overall Grade |
|
| 1.0 or 1.3 | 1.00 - 1.50 | 1.00 - 1.50 | very good |
| 1.7 or 2.0 or 2.3 | 1.51 - 2.50 | 1.51 - 2.50 | good |
| 2.7 or 3.0 or 3.3 | 2.51 - 3.50 | 2.51 - 3.50 | satisfactory |
| 3.7 or 4.0 | 3.51 - 4.00 | 3.51 - 4.50 | adequate |
| below 4.0 | below 4.0 | below 4.5 | fail |
Sometimes, esp. with a Dr. Phil. (D.Phil. / Ph.D.) also the Latin versions are used for the grading (here then the grade (Note / Zensur) is called Prädikat):
| Latin Honors |
German |
English |
| summa cum laude |
mit Auszeichnung |
"with honor" |
| magna cum laude |
sehr gut |
"very good" |
| cum laude |
gut | "good" |
| cum laude |
bestanden |
"good" |
