Grades
The page shows grade point averages for bachelor projects and master theses at the University of Copenhagen in the years from 2014 onwards in the form of two visualisations and two datasets available for download as Excel spreadsheets (see bottom of page).
The two visualisations are as follows:
- The development of total dissertations at the University of Copenhagen over time.
- The development of the average grade for dissertations at each faculty over time.
It is possible to filter by thesis type or faculty in the visualisations.
The data contains information about grade point averages for bachelor projects and master theses at the University of Copenhagen's degree programmes.
The numbers are calculated as of 1 October each year.
Example: Data for 2020 covers the period from 1 October 2019 to 30 September 2020.
Only grade point averages for dissertations are included in the report. Thus, grade point averages for entire degree programmes are not included.
Dissertation grades with "B" (passed) are excluded from the calculation.
