Calculation formula of final grade

The approval in the discipline in both regular seasons can be achieved through a final examination, in accordance with the evaluation rules defined by FADEUP’s Pedagogical Council. To be approved at the 1st season students should conduct a final exam in which they must get a score equal or above 9.5. If they do not get a positive grade, they can attain a 2nd examination in which they also need to obtain a minimum of 9.5. The final grade will be rounded till the units.

Internship work/project

Not considered.
