The European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS) is a standard for comparing the study performance of higher education students across the European Union. ECTS credits present the value allocated to a certain course and describe the quantity of work each course required from a student (Univerza v Ljubljani).
| Grade 10 = Exceptional knowledge without or with negligible faults | ECTS = A | 91%-100% | |
| Grade 9 = Very good knowledge with some minor faults | ECTS = B | 81%-90% | |
| Grade 8 = Good knowledge with certain faults | ECTS = C | 71%-80% | |
| Grade 7 = Solid knowledge but with several faults | ECTS = D | 61%-70% | |
| Grade 6 = Knowledge only meets minimal criteria | ECTS = E | 51%-60% | |
| Grade 5 = Knowledge does not meet minimal criteria | ECTS = F | 0%-50% | |
A student passes the exam if he/she is graded from 6 to 10.
