Queensland University of Technology Grade Glasgow Grade 7 (85-100%) A1 6 (80-84%) A4 6 (75-79%) B1 5 (70-74%) B2 5 (65-69%) B3 4 (60-64%) C1 4 (50-59%) C3 3 (47-49%) D2 2 (35-46%) E2 2 (25-34%) F2 1 (0-24%) G1

Rationale The University of Queensland uses a different scale which precludes it from the national table above. Currently, Glasgow uses a unique conversion table for each of its Australian partners, notably with varying cut off points for failing grades (see QUT 7-point scale). Generally, Glasgow is more lenient particularly in the lower part of the spectrum than other UK institutions and so this national table attempts to standardise the grade classifications. Subjects with Partners in Australia University-wide Austria

Austria Glasgow Grade 1 A3 2 B2 3 C2 4 D2 5 E2

Rationale The table is in line with Glasgow - ECTS – Austria conversion. This also brings Glasgow more in line with other institutions.

Rationale This conversion table is a hybrid of the tables for Warsaw University and Kozminski University. Polish universities use a 5-point scale. However, the University of Warsaw awards a higher distinction grade 5 and so an A1 mark has been utilised for the Glasgow conversion table. Furthermore, Kozminski University has two distinct fail grades and so both of these grade classifications have been included.

Rationale The Romanian grading system is based on a 10-point scale. The Glasgow grades reflect the direct ECTS conversion. A 7-8 grade in Romania is equivalent to an ECTS grade C. These have been separated into upper (8 = B3) and lower (7 = C2) classifications. Subjects with Partners in Romania Geography Singapore

Rationale Korea University is unlike the Seoul National University and Yonsei University because it uses a 4.5 scale rather than a 4.3 scale. The Glasgow grades have been produced based on the current national conversion table for USA/Korea and the percentage worth of the Korea University grades.
