Frequently Asked Questions about German GPA Conversion
What is the Modified Bavarian Formula?
It is the mathematical formula officially used by German public universities and Uni-Assist to convert international grades onto the German 1.0 to 4.0 grading scale.
How is a German GPA grade interpreted?
On the German scale, 1.0 is the absolute best (Outstanding), 4.0 is the minimum passing score, and 5.0 is a failure. Thus, a lower score represents a better academic grade.
Does this tool support university-specific passing marks?
Yes. You can specify the exact maximum grade (e.g. 10.0 or 100%) and minimum passing grade (e.g. 4.0 or 40%) depending on your university's guidelines, ensuring an accurate conversion.
What German GPA is required for public universities?
For highly competitive programs (NC - Numerus Clausus) at TU9 universities, a German GPA of 2.0 or better is usually recommended, while other public universities accept up to 2.5.
