What is a good grade? (leddit.danmark.party)

Hej hej, I’m currently studying for a masters in Denmark. I’m not from here originally so as everyone is I have been confused about the grading system.

What I am most curious about is what a ‘good’ grade is, not just according to the grading scheme but to employers, socially, etc. I’m looking to stay in DK long term so I’m wondering what kind of ‘GPA’ would be safe to achieve to make sure my grades won’t be any issue when applying for jobs.

Taaak :)

Edit: I’m studying in social sciences at KU - I would say my program but it’s small and I want to stay anonymous haha

I’m also aiming to work in consulting post grad !

Grades are pretty useless in my experience - working in "big pharma". It might be needed if you want to do phd work or fulfill entry requirements for certain studies.

Otherwise who cares?

Thanks, it’s hard coming from a country where grades are everything to Denmark where everyone is so chill haha (but it’s nice!). I’m hoping to go into consulting at some point, so I guess I’m a little nervous they’re more strict with grades, but other than that you’re right :)

When we hire we are much more interested in people who are able to figure stuff out by themselves than grades. Grades can be achieved by simply following the curriculum... but we need people who can write the curriculum.

Grades dont show that.

Your grades can be at the very top, but if you don’t match with the team you’ll likely just be underutilized and then a high grade doesn’t do much. That’s why employers in Denmark focus much more on your social skills and general behavior to see if you may fit in the work space. They’ll also value previous job experience a lot higher than any grade.
