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 !

12, 10, maybe 7. Grades will likely not be as important as you think. Ask your classmates for a better answer

thanks! For sure, most Dane’s I’ve spoken to don’t care about their grades haha. I guess work experience is more important?

Coming from somewhere where a 7 would be considered a bad grade to Denmark has definitely been a shock haha

Good grades might help you land your first job, but won't be a requirement to join the job market at all. After your first job, no one will ever ask about your grades again.

Not only that no one will ask about the grades, no one will want to see your degree either.

If you're coming from the US, then the grades will likely be harder to attain - eg. 'C' (7) here is completely fine and average

A C in the US system is usually translated to 4 or 02 in the Danish system. It's different from a C in the European ECTS system.

7 is supposed to be above average, 4 is meant as furfills the requirments of the curriculum aka average, 02 is furfills the requirments, but with some missing points.
