What is the ECTS grade for 75% in Germany?

German grades are on a 1–5 scale where 1.0 is best. A grade of 1.0–1.5 maps to ECTS A; 1.6–2.0 to ECTS B; 2.1–3.0 to ECTS C; 3.1–3.5 to ECTS D; 3.6–4.0 to ECTS E. A 75% in a percentage-graded German institution is approximately 2.0, which maps to ECTS B.

How does ECTS affect Erasmus transcript recognition?

Under ECTS, receiving institutions must accept the transferred credits and grades from the sending institution as agreed in the Learning Agreement. The host institution cannot require students to retake credited courses; however, conversion of grades to local scales may vary by institution policy.
