The Swedish grading system varies depending on the level of education.
- Most Swedish universities use the grade letter scale as seen on the table below:
| International scale | Swedish scale |
|---|---|
| A (Excellent) |
MVG - Mycket väl godkänd |
| B (Very good, with few errors) |
VG - Väl godkänd |
| E (Good, with some errors. This is the minimum passing grade) |
G - Godkänd |
| F (Fail) |
IG - Icke godkänd |
In some cases, specific courses are graded using two grades: G - Godkänd (pass) or U - Underkänd (Fail)
- If you are applying for university studies in Sweden as an undergraduate student, your grades from upper secondary school from your home country will be converted into a grade point scale with a maximum grade point of 20 and a minimum grade point of 10.
If you are an EU student, you can easily convert your grade point with the European Grade Converter
