Grading System
UACh Grading System
6,4 - 7,0 = Excellent = A
5,9 - 6,3 = Very Good = B(+)
5,5 - 5,8 = Good = B(-)
4,5 - 5,4 = Pass = C
1,0 - 4, 4 = Fail = D
- The minimum average to pass Modules 7, 8 and 9 is 4,5, with no grade less than 4,5 (per course unit).
- The minimum grade to be able to pass the final work (Thesis) is 5,0.
- The minimum grade to be able to pass the final exam (thesis defense) is 5,0.
- To have a Master's Degree, the student should have a final grade equal or more than 5,0.
The weight distribution of the grades are as follows:
60% - all the courses 1st and 2nd year combined (average)
20% - thesis (manuscript)
20% - thesis defense (final exam)
Final Grade and its equivalent (honours):
5,0 - 5,6 (Aprobado)
5,7 - 6,3 (Aprobado con Distinción)
6,4 - 7,0 (Aprobado con Distinción Máxima)
Note: Grade Equivalence from German to Chilean Grade are as follows:

Note: (1) The German grading system includes a number of discontinuous marks whereas the Chilean grading system considers a continuum range of marks. To find a Chilean mark for every German mark, a linear equivalence was computed; (2)Equivalent Chilean Grade = 7,0 - (German Grade – 1)*( Δ Chilean Grade / Δ German Grade), wherein: Δ is the absolute difference of the maximum and minimum grade to pass the course.
