You come back from an exchange with a 15/20 from France, a 2.0 from Germany or a 3.4 GPA, and you need to know what it is worth on an Italian transcript. Pick the source system, type the grade, and see the indicative equivalent on the Italian 18-30 scale straight away. If your university gave you its own conversion table, enter it below and the calculator will use that instead.
Most universities publish their conversion table in the Erasmus regulations or attach it to the learning agreement. If you have it, enter it here: the result above is recalculated on these rows instead of the general formula. Rows are saved on this device, so you will find them again next time.
| Foreign grade | Italian grade (18-30) |
|---|
If the grade falls between two numeric rows, the page interpolates proportionally between them. Letter grades need an exact match.
The method is always the same: the pass threshold of the foreign system maps to an Italian 18, the maximum maps to 30, and everything in between is spread out linearly. This is the most common approach when no official table is available, and it is also the easiest one to check by hand.
A note on Germany: many German and Italian universities use the Bavarian formula rather than a linear proportion, and the two methods give slightly different numbers. One more reason not to treat this estimate as final.
FocusSea keeps your exam record with a weighted average that updates on every grade, plus a simulator that tells you what you need in the exams ahead to reach the final mark you want. Free, no ads, data hosted in the EU.

The conversion that actually lands on your transcript is decided by your university, usually through the international relations office or the student registry, following the table written into its regulations or your learning agreement. If the two numbers disagree, theirs is the correct one.
Because it is. In Germany 1.0 is the top grade and 4.0 is the pass mark, while anything above 4.0 is a fail. So a German 2.0 is a good grade, not a weak one, and this page converts it to roughly 26 out of 30.
It is usually in the Erasmus regulations, on the international office's web page, or attached to the learning agreement you signed before leaving. If you cannot find it, email the office directly: that is the same team who will register the grades.
They are two different things sharing a name. ECTS credits measure workload and map one to one onto Italian CFU. ECTS letter grades from A to E are a separate assessment scale, rarely used today, that some universities still print on the transcript of records.
Yes. Once registered it counts like any other exam, weighted by its credits. That is why it is worth checking the conversion with the registry before it is recorded: one or two points on a 12-credit exam are visible in the weighted average.
