Portuguese Grading System
Grade (out of 20) | Portuguese Grade | International Equivalence |
---|---|---|
18-20 | Excelente | Excellent |
16 and 17 | Very Good | Muito Bom |
14 and 15 | Good | Bom |
10-13 | Suficiente | Satisfactory |
0-9 | Reprovado | Fail |
Notes: A grade below to 8 is a clear fail. 8 and 9 are marginal fails that, in some undergraduate studies, give still access to an oral exam or a lab exam. Very few students get to the level 18, and 19 and 20 are even more rarely used. Some courses of the Department of Law demand a minimum of 13 to skip the oral exam. You may find the rules of assessment of each course in the curricular unit file, made available in the Moodle, or at SIUPT (menu: “student information”)
