Grading System

Your in-class exams, take-home assessments and master's thesis will be graded in accordance with the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation (ECTS) System. We award ECTS letter grades that correspond to our own numerical grading system:

• A ≙ 90 – 100 points,

• B ≙ 80 – 89 points,

• C ≙ 70 – 79 points,

• D ≙ 60 – 69 points,

• E ≙ 50 – 59 points,

• F ≙ 1 – 49 points,

with an A given for the best examinations and an F given for work of insufficient quality.

Regulations

In light of the Bologna Process, the MILE Programme is formally a considered 90-ECTS master's degree, compressed into one year of intensive study and mandatory classroom participation.

For all your completed coursework throughout the three terms you'll receive a total of 68 ECTS credits; for your completed master's thesis you'll receive 22 ECTS credits. Your final grade will be determined as an ECTS-credits weighted average of all grades.

The title Master of International Law and Economics is conferred by the University of Bern if you obtain, on average, an E grade or better and have fulfilled all of your academic and financial obligations towards the WTI.

Upon graduation, you will receive a printed and signed diploma and a transcript, detailing all the courses you passed and the grades you obtained.
