ECTS

The ECTS (European Credit Transfer System) has been created to give to European universities a common way to assess

academic results. Every country keeps its own traditional grading system but also creates a conversion chart of marks between

the two systems. In Italy marks go from 18 out of 30 (18/30) to 30 out of 30 (30/30) while the ECTS goes from F to A.
