Grading system and culture

The Flemish grading system is based on grades ranging from 0 to 20, with 10/20 being the pass grade.

Successful students at EhB generally attain the following grades:

10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20
100.00% 90.75% 79.58% 64.78% 48.87% 30.77% 17.51% 8.12% 3.26% 0.87% 0.17%

 

How to interpret these numbers?


In the table above, all grades that mark a pass and above (10-20) are displayed. The row below indicates the accumulated frequency distribution of all successful students who have obtained the grade in the row above.

For example, 90.75% of all successful students obtained a grade of 11 or above while 79.58% obtained a grade of 12 or above. Only 0.17% of all successful students obtained the highest grade.

 

How does EhB communicate the results obtained by students on (Erasmus)mobility?

The ToR is sent by e-mail to the international office of the students home university, with a copy to the student in, in the month following the end of the examination period. If needed an original copy is send by mail as well.
