Universities – Polytechnics
The table below depicts the Greek Grading system while illustrates approximately how the Grades are compared with ECTS, US and UK grades:
For the National Technical University of Athens (polytehnio) the above grades are different: 9-10 is "excellent", 7-9 is "very good", 5-7 is "good", 0-4.9 is "fail".
Most of the degrees can be equivalent to a bachelor's degree with honours BSc(Hons) / BEng(Hons) since all courses are 4 to 5 years and most of them professionally accredited. All modules, from all years, must be passed with a minimum grade of 5.00 (50%) in order for a degree to be assessed/awarded and there is currently no limit in resits. The classification (Ἀριστα, Λίαν Καλὠς, Καλὠς) is derived from the overall credit-weighted average for all modules including the 'diplomatiki' (university/polytechnic) or 'ptichiaki' (TEI).
