GPA to German grade converter (modified Bavarian formula)
In short: German universities usually convert a foreign grade with the modified Bavarian formula: German grade = 1 + 3 x (best possible grade - your grade) / (best possible grade - lowest passing grade), rounded to one decimal. 1.0 is the best German grade and 4.0 the lowest pass. For example, a 3.3 GPA on a 4.0 scale with 2.0 to pass converts to 2.1.
Enter your grade and your system's best and lowest passing grades.
Formula as published by Hochschule Osnabrueck (read 7 Nov 2026). Runs in your browser; nothing is sent. Systems where a lower number is better (such as the German one) need the best grade as the "best possible" value; the formula still works.
Cosa fare dopo
- Check your programme's minimum grade and whether it uses its own conversion.
- Plan the costs: what German universities charge e the blocked account.
- Follow the visa steps: the German student visa, step by step.
Domande
How do I convert my GPA to the German grading system?
German universities usually convert a foreign grade with the modified Bavarian formula: German grade = 1 + 3 x (best possible grade - your grade) / (best possible grade - lowest passing grade), rounded to one decimal. 1.0 is the best German grade and 4.0 the lowest pass. For example, a 3.3 GPA on a 4.0 scale with 2.0 to pass converts to 2.1.
Is the German grade 1.0 good or bad?
1.0 is the best grade in Germany and 4.0 the lowest pass, the reverse of most GPA scales.
Will my university use exactly this result?
Not always. Many German universities and uni-assist use this formula, but some programmes use their own method or ask for an official conversion. The admissions page of your programme decides.
