GPAWorld country hub
GPAWorld covers 4 universities in Germany. All 4 of them publish the German 1.0-5.0 grade scale, but that shared label does not make them interchangeable: they round the cumulative average in 2 different ways, and their grade tables, pass marks and repeat rules are set institution by institution. That is why this site keeps one grading configuration per university instead of one per country — a single "Germany GPA formula" would be wrong for most students who used it.

All on one published scale, each with its own grade table and rounding. Every listing links to a calculator preloaded with that university's own rules.

Looking at the Germany configurations side by side: all 4 grade on an inverted scale where the lower number is the better result. Each university's own page spells out which of these apply to you.
| University | Scale | Top grade | Lowest pass | CGPA rounding | Repeats |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Freie Universitaet Berlin | German 1.0-5.0 grade scale | 1.0 (1.0) | 4.0 (4.0) | Rounded to 1 dp | Manual review |
| Heidelberg University | German 1.0-5.0 grade scale | 1.0 (1.0) | 4.0 (4.0) | Rounded to 1 dp | Manual review |
| Karlsruhe Institute of Technology | German 1.0-5.0 grade scale | 1.0 (1.0) | 4.0 (4.0) | Truncated to 1 dp | Manual review |
| University of Freiburg | German 1.0-5.0 grade scale | 1.0 (1.0) | 4.0 (4.0) | Truncated to 1 dp | Manual review |
No. The 4 Germany universities covered here share the German 1.0-5.0 grade scale, but they set their own grade tables, pass marks, rounding and repeat rules. Use your own university's page rather than a shared formula.
Open your university's page from the list above. Enter your current CGPA and completed credit hours, then add this semester's courses with their credit hours and grades. The grade options come from that university's own table, and the result is rounded using its own rule — so the number matches how your registrar calculates it.
No — this group alone uses 2 different rounding rules for the cumulative average: rounded to 1 dp, truncated to 1 dp. Truncating instead of rounding can be the difference between sitting just above or just below a scholarship threshold, so it is worth checking your own university's rule.
Quite possibly — coverage is being expanded steadily, and each university is only added once its grading policy has been read from an official source and encoded. Send us the university name and a link to its published grading scale and we will add it.
If you want to check the arithmetic by hand rather than trust a calculator, these walkthroughs cover the method that sits underneath every university page on this site.
