Grading & Credit Transfer

Grading

Assessment and grading will be done using the UD-DUE’s grading system, which will be a 4.0 scale. A final transcript will show the grades earned in the various modules/courses. The transcript may also show the equivalent grades in the home university’s grading system, if possible. UD-DUE does not guarantee transferability of course credits which have not been pre-approved in writing.

After receiving all final grades, a student will receive an official transcript and/or a certificate of participation. Copies of these documents will be sent to the home university for the actual recognition of credits or degrees.


Our Credit System

All academic programs at the University of Danang – University of Economics are based on the Vietnamese credit system, which applies to both regular domestic students and international exchange students. Under this system: One (01) Vietnamese credit represents approximately 45 hours of total student workload, including class attendance, independent study, assignments, and examinations. 01 hour in-class study required 3 hours self-study at home.

Credit Conversion to ECTS
For the purpose of student mobility and recognition of academic achievement, the University of Danang – University of Economics applies the following conversion rate, which has been mutually agreed upon and successfully applied with many European partner institutions:

03 Vietnamese credits = 05 ECTS credits

This conversion rate is applied consistently to all courses offered to exchange students and reflects the learning outcomes and workload expected in each course.

Application for Exchange Students

A standard full-time course load for exchange students at our university typically consists of 06 courses per semester. Each course carries 03 Vietnamese credits, which is equivalent to 05 ECTS. Therefore, a full semester of study (06 courses) totals 18 Vietnamese credits, equivalent to 30 ECTS, meeting the standard full-time semester requirement in the European higher education system.
