What's your grade in German?

German universities grade from 1,0 (best) to 4,0 (lowest pass) — and convert foreign grades with the modified Bavarian formula. Enter your scale and grade to see yours the way uni-assist will.

Check your certificate for the exact maximum and passing grades — the passing grade is what moves the result most. Works for any "higher is better" scale.

Your German grade

2,1

gut — Good (1,0 is best · 4,0 is the lowest pass)

Many Master's programmes ask for 2,5 or better; competitive ones for 1,5–2,0. See admission requirements

Formula: 1 + 3 × (N_max − N_d) / (N_max − N_min), clamped to 1,0–4,0. Individual universities may round differently or use their own tables — treat this as the standard orientation, and check the programme's own conversion if listed.
