Exams / Incoming exchange student

Throughout the same academic year, students have the right to take assessments of the same teaching unit twice. Exams are organized by the Faculties during the three periods set by the Board of Directors :

See the academic calendar

The 1^st and 2^nd periods constitute together the 1^st session. The 3^rd period constitutes the 2^nd session (August-September).

By way of derogation, the Faculty can, if the circumstances warrant, decide to grant special exam periods and terms to students who participate in a mobility programme (Erasmus, Erasmus-Belgica, Erasmus Mundus, bilateral agreements). In this context, students must contact the professors concerned, as well as the departmental coordinator at the beginning of the term.

The grade of an assessment is expressed by a number between 0 and 20. The threshold of success of each teaching unit is at 10/20.

The distribution statistics of successful grades (from 10 to 20), as recommended in the ECTS User's Guide, give for 2023/2024 the following general grade distribution table (all fields of study, bachelor and master):

This table is based on the grades obtained in the last two academic years (2021/2022 and 2022/2023).

As recommended by the European Commission in its ECTS Guide, the University of Liège has joined the Egracons tool for grade conversion. Any institution wishing to use this tool to convert grades must simply upload its grading tables. In the Egracons tool, you will find our tables for each ISCED code.

Some faculties have calculated their grade distribution tables for all their programmes (putting together several ISCED codes). These tables are published on the websites of these faculties.
