The University of Helsinki grading scale is not a proportionate scale and does not therefore fully correspond to the ECTS grading scale.

Study units are typically graded on a scale of 0 to 5. Theses associated with Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees are graded on this same scale. Meaningful Feedback for Students: 5 Research-Based Tips.
