| ECTS Classification | Mean % of achieving students in a course unit | Definition |
|---|---|---|
| A | 10 | 10% – Highest classifications on the 10-20 mark scale |
| B | 25 | 25% – Following classifications on the 10-20 mark scale |
| C | 30 | 30% – Following classifications on the 10-20 mark scale |
| D | 25 | 25% – Following classifications on the 10-20 mark scale |
| E | 10 | 10% – Lowest classifications on the 10-20 mark scale |
