Courses and grades

In upper secondary school, subjects are divided into courses. Courses may comprise 50, 100, 150 and 200 credits. There are also longer independent courses. Grades are given for every course completed.

Every course has a syllabus stating the objectives to be achieved. There are also grading criteria for every course stating the required level of achievement for the grades of Pass, Pass with Distinction and Pass with Special Distinction.

At the end of a upper secondary school program, students receive a final grade (leaving certificate), which is a compilation of the grades for all the courses included in the study program.
