(Higher Education Act, Chapter 1, Section 9)
Grades
According to the Higher Education Ordinance, Chapter 6, Section 18, a grade is to be awarded on the completion of a course, unless otherwise prescribed by the university. The university may prescribe which grading system shall apply. The grade is to be determined by a teacher specifically appointed by the university (an examiner).
In accordance with university regulations regarding grading systems for first and second-cycle courses (Vice-Chancellor’s decision ORU 2018/00929), one of the following grades shall be used: Fail (U), Pass (G) or Pass with Distinction (VG). For courses that are included in an international Master’s programme (60 or 120 credits) or offered to the university’s incoming exchange students, the grading scale of A-F shall be used. The vice-chancellor, or a person appointed by the vice-chancellor, may decide on exceptions from this provision for a specific course, if there are special grounds.
Grades used on course are Fail (F), Sufficient (E), Satisfactory (D), Good (C), Very Good (B) or Excellent (A).
Specific entry requirements
First-cycle degree of 180 credits, with Computer Science as the main field of study, and at least 15 credits in mathematics (analysis and algebra), or first-cycle degree of 180 credits, and at least 30 credits in mathematics (analysis and algebra), as well as at least 15 credits in Computer Science or Informatics (which includes programming). The applicant must also have qualifications corresponding to the course "English 6" or "English B" from the Swedish Upper Secondary School, as well as at least 7.5 credits from second-cycle courses that include programming.
