Education in Belgium is organised on the level of the three communities.
In Flanders the following grading system applies to higher education:[1]
- niet geslaagd (Failure): if the student gets a score lower than 10/20 for one or more courses.
- voldoening (Sufficient): if the student gets a score of at least 10/20 for all courses.
- onderscheiding (Good): if the student gets an average weighted score of at least 13.5/20.
- grote onderscheiding (Very Good): if the student gets an average weighted score of at least 15/20.
- grootste onderscheiding (Excellent): if the student gets an average weighted score of at least 16.5/20.
In the French Community of Belgium, the following grade scale applies to university and college students:[2]
| Plus Grande Distinction (PGD) | Excellent (86% - 100%) |
|---|---|
| Grande Distinction (GD) | Very Good (78% - 86%) |
| Distinction (D) | Good (68% - 78%) |
| Satisfaction (S) | Sufficient (60% - 68%) |
| Ajourné | Failure (< 60%) |
Note that the percentages in brackets vary from a university/college to another and can even be different for two different faculties of the same institution.
