E. Criteria for granting the exam bonus
The system will take into account all credits acquired through graded exams in previous years (starting from enrolment) and up to 10 August 2025.
Validated exams are excluded from the calculation.
The system calculates three assessment parameters:
E1. the sum of the CFUs (university credits) for each exam multiplied by the grade awarded divided by 100; SUM(CFUs*grade)/100;
E2. the weighted average of the grades;
E3. the date of birth.
The bonus is granted in descending order for parameter E1 (starting from the highest score), then for parameter E2 (starting from the highest average) and finally for parameter E3 (starting from the most recent date of birth).
F. If you are enrolled in the first year of a second level two-year degree programme, you are entitled to the exam bonus and will receive a 5% increase in your score if you have graduated by 10 August 2025.
