The EIMT's credit system is based on the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS). Credits assigned to each field of study based on the student's expected performance. One credit point requires an average workload of 30 hours of student work.
EIMT does not use the ECTS grading scheme. The grading scale ranges from 1.0 to 6.0 quarter
grade (0.25). The passing grade is 4.0, the maximum grade is 6.0. Corresponding number symbol
are as following

The above grades are not rigidly related to any distribution function and are not awarded according to
predetermined percentages or numerical scores. A student’s grade in a subject is more related to the
student’s mastery of the material than to the relative performance of his or her peers.
