How GPA Is Calculated
GPA Scales
What GPA Do You Need?

Deutsches System

Noten 1-6 (1 = sehr gut, 6 = ungenügend). Gewichteter Durchschnitt: Σ(Note × ECTS) ÷ Σ(ECTS). Analysis (2,3 × 9 ECTS) + Deutsch (1,7 × 6) = (20,7+10,2)÷15 = 2,06. Für den Master: 2,5 oder besser ist oft Voraussetzung. Für Top-Programme: 1,5 oder besser.

Umrechnung

Deutsch → US GPA: ~4 - Note. 1,0 ≈ 4,0. 2,0 ≈ 3,0. 3,0 ≈ 2,0. Für Bewerbungen im Ausland: die modifizierte bayerische Formel ist Standard.

⚡ CalcWolf Insight

A common misconception: a single F does not "ruin" your GPA forever. In a 120-credit degree, one F in a 3-credit course lowers your cumulative GPA by about 0.10 points. It is recoverable with consistent performance.
