Examinations & Grading System
Assessment Methods
CUT employs a diverse range of assessment methods to evaluate student performance holistically. Each course utilizes at least two assessment methods, with the final exam contributing a maximum of 60% to the overall course grade. Methods include Mid-term and Final Examinations, continuous Coursework (assignments, projects, practical exercises), and Presentations.
The Grading Scale
The grading system at CUT is numeric, ranging from 0 to 10, rounded to the nearest half unit. The minimum passing grade is 5.0.
| Grade Point | Meaning (English) | Meaning (Greek) |
|---|---|---|
| 9.5 – 10.0 | Excellent with Distinction | Άριστα με Διάκριση |
| 8.5 – 9.49 | Excellent | Άριστα |
| 6.5 – 8.49 | Very Good | Λίαν Καλώς |
| 5.0 – 6.49 | Good | Καλώς |
| I | Incomplete | – |
| P | Pass (non-marked course) | – |
| W | Official Withdrawal | – |
Calculation of Semester GPA
For each course, we multiply the number of ECTS credits by the numerical value of the grade to determine your Grade Points. We then divide the sum of your Grade Points by the total sum of your semester credits.
(Sum of Grade Points) ÷ (Sum of Semester Credits) = Semester GPA
Recognition of Courses
At the end of your mobility period, you and your home university will receive an official Transcript of Records. This document includes all courses taken, the corresponding ECTS credits, and the grades achieved to ensure proper recognition of your academic work.
Language Policy & Support
While the official language of instruction at CUT is Greek, we are deeply committed to supporting incoming Erasmus students. We facilitate English-medium learning through one-to-one tutorials, project-based assignments, English bibliographies, and final exams conducted in English for pre-agreed courses.
