Calculations strictly follow Ministry of Education (Ministerul Educației) & ARACIS, Romania standards. Quality Points are computed per enrolled course unit and rounded to two decimal places.
How GPA Is Calculated in Romania
Official mathematical methodology, credit weighting ratios, and quality point equations governing academic evaluation across Romania universities.
In Romania, university grade point average calculations follow standardized guidelines administered by Ministry of Education (Ministerul Educației) & ARACIS, Romania. The computation operates on a credit-weighted Quality Points system that converts qualitative letter marks into discrete numerical values.
In Romania, your academic average (Media Ponderată) is computed by multiplying each course grade (1 to 10) by its assigned ECTS credits, summing all points, and dividing by total enrolled ECTS credits. A minimum grade of 5 is required to pass each individual subject.

GPA Scale(s) Used by Romania Universities
Comparison of primary and alternative academic grading scales utilized across higher education institutions in Romania.
Standard Romanian 1–10 Scale (All Universities)
Max 10 PtsOfficial Romanian scale: 10=Exceptional, 9=Very Good, 8=Good, 7=Satisfactory, 6=Sufficient, 5=Minimum Pass, 1-4=Fail.
GPA Calculation Formula & Credit-Weighted Weighting
Detailed mathematical derivation of credit-weighted quality points and arithmetic formulas.
Where:
- Grade Point: Numerical value mapped from earned letter grade.
- Course Credits: Weighting (Credite ECTS (Standard 30 ECTS per semester / 60 ECTS per year)) assigned to the module.
- Quality Points: Grade Point × Course Credits.
Why Credit Weighting Is Essential
Standard university courses carry 4 to 6 ECTS credits. The bachelor's graduation exam and thesis (Licență) carry 10 to 15 ECTS.
\text{Puncte} = \text{Nota} \times \text{Credite ECTS}

| Course / Unit | Earned Grade | Grade Point | Credit Units | Quality Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CS301: Proiectarea Algoritmilor | 10 (Excelent) | 10.0 | 6 | 60.0 |
| CS302: Sisteme de Operare | 9 (Foarte Bine) | 9.0 | 6 | 54.0 |
| CS303: Rețele de Calculatoare | 10 (Excelent) | 10.0 | 6 | 60.0 |
| CS304: Baze de Date | 9 (Foarte Bine) | 9.0 | 6 | 54.0 |
| HUM301: Managementul Proiectelor | 10 (Excelent) | 10.0 | 6 | 60.0 |
| Semester Totals: | 30 Units | 288.0 QP | ||
Step 1: Multiply each grade by its ECTS credits: (10×6)=60, (9×6)=54, (10×6)=60, (9×6)=54, (10×6)=60.
Step 2: Sum all points: 60 + 54 + 60 + 54 + 60 = 288.0.
Step 3: Sum ECTS Credits: 30.
Step 4: Divide: 288.0 ÷ 30 = 9.60 Media Ponderată.
Semester GPA vs Cumulative GPA
Media Semestrială determines scholarship allocation (Bursă de Merit / Bursă de Studiu). Media Anuală determines overall class ranking (Șef de Promoție).
Weighted vs Unweighted GPA
All courses in Romania are weighted by their ECTS credits.
GPA Without Credits (Arithmetic Average)
ECTS credit weighting is mandatory under ARACIS higher education accreditation.
GPA to Percentage Equivalencies
In Romanian universities, Merit Scholarships (Burse de Merit) typically require a weighted average of 9.50 or higher; Study Scholarships require 8.50+.
University-Specific Differences in Romania
All Romanian universities operate under the ARACIS national accreditation framework on a 1–10 scale.

Cum se calculează media ponderată la facultate în România?
Pentru a calcula media ponderată: Înmulțiți nota fiecărei materii (1-10) cu numărul său de credite ECTS, adunați toate punctele obținute, și împărțiți la numărul total de credite ECTS. Formulă: Media = Total (Notă × ECTS) ÷ Total ECTS. Nota minimă de promovare a unei materii este 5.
