ECTS – European Credit Transfer System
ECTS credit is equivalent of approx. 30 working hours. Credits are awarded only when the course has been completed and all required examinations have been successfully taken. 60 ECTS credits represent the workload of a year study, 30 ECTS credits a semester.
Student Transcript Book – “Indeks”
Upon enrolment students get their own student transcript book – in Serbian “indeks”. It contains basic information on courses taken, grades awarded and ECTS achieved. It is useful to carry it during the last four weeks of the semester when professors with their signature certify attendance at the courses. When the student passes the exam the professor will write down the grade and ECTS the student got and will sign it as well one more time.
Grading System
The Serbian national grading scale consists of six grades with numerical equivalents:
- 10 = excellent – odličan/одличан (highest grade)
- 9 = exceptionally good – izuzetno dobar/изузетно добар
- 8 = very good – vrlo dobar/врло добар
- 7 = good – dobar/добар
- 6 = sufficient – dovoljan/довољан (minimun pass grade)
- 5 = fail – nije položio/није положио (is not written in “indeks”)

(at the scale from 0 to 100)
- 10 = excellent – odličan (91-100, highest grade) – A
- 9 = exceptionally good – izuzetno dobar (81-90.99)- B
- 8 = very good – vrlo dobar (71-80.99) – C
- 7 = good – dobar (61-70.99) – D
- 6 = sufficient – dovoljan (51-60.99, minimun pass grade) – E
- 1 = fail – nije položio/није положио (below 51, is not written in “indeks”) – F
