The grading scales used at the University of Tampere have been translated into ECTS grades according to the ECTS guidelines.
In the case of master’s and licentiates’ thesis and doctoral dissertations, the 7-tier grading scale in Latin (approbatur - laudatur) is usually used.
A L, laudatur; E, eximia
B M, magna cum laude approbatur
C C, cum laude approbatur
D N, non sine laude approbatur
E B, lubenter approbatur; A, approbatur
| ECTS grade | University of Tampere Grade | Definition (In Finnish) |
| A | 5 | EXCELLENT (erinomainen/E) |
| B | 4 | VERY GOOD in Finnish ( kiitettävä/KT) |
| C | 3 | GOOD (hyvä/HT) |
| D | 2 | SATISFACTORY (tyydyttävä/TT) |
| E | 1 | SUFFICIENT (välttävä/VT) |
Furthermore, the dichotomy pass/fail (HYV/HYL) is used in the course evaluation as such without grading to indicate that the student has fulfilled/not fulfilled the requirements set in the curriculum for the course unit.
The grading scale of study modules is the same as that of the course units. The average grade of the units included in the study module form the overall grade of the module. The following conversion is used in degree certificates instead of the numerical grading:
| Grade | Definition |
| 5 | EXCELLENT in Finnish erinomainen/ET |
| 4 | VERY GOOD in Finnish kiitettävä/KT |
| 3 | GOOD in Finnish hyvä/HT |
| 2 | SATISFACTORY in Finnish tyydyttävä/TT |
| 1 | SUFFICIENT in Finnish välttävä/VT |
