Recognition by your home institution, Danish Grading system and Grade conversion
When you return back home you need to ask your home institution for recognition of credits awarded by Zealand in accordance with the Learning Agreement joined. Please refer to the relevant procedures to be observed at your home institution.
If your home institution convert your awarded grade to another national system/standard, then below may be relevant.
The grading system used in all state-regulated education since August 2007 is the 7-point grading scale. The grading scale is compatible with the ECTS grading scale.
Danish marks and degrees
A minimum grade of 02 is required to pass an examination or test. Apart from the 7-point grading scale, pass/fail assessment may also be used.
The student’s performance or proficiency is assessed according to academic targets set up for the specific subject or course (absolute grading method). The relative grading method must not be used. It is nevertheless expected that the overall distribution of grades over a certain period of time should reflect the following distribution of grades:
General Grade Distribution in Higher Education in Denmark and Zealand Distribution
Confirmation of stay / attendance
Your home institution may need us to confirm/certify that you have been with Zealand as well as your start date and end date. Normally the confirmation needs to be confirmed by signature and stamp in a document forwarded to you by your home institution. Please make sure that our department offer such confirmation before your departure.
