Project Description:
In the last decade, the world has seen a tremendous increase in the number of students that choose to study abroad, underlining the growing global dimension of education. Furthermore the traditional flow of students toward English-speaking countries, such as the United Kingdom, the United States and Australia, is changing. Not only EHEA is becoming attractive but other regions, as the Asia-Pacific region, have seen a sharp increase in the flow and exchange of students within the region’s boundaries and the development of several education hubs.
This kind of mobility, strongly supported by European policies, knew a strong acceleration thanks to the Erasmus Mundus Programme, especially Action 2, that was transferring to Countries which just started to apply the Bologna principles, all the problems connected with recognition of credits and grades.

The main aim of the project proposal is to provide tools and procedures in support of student mobility not only between PC and EU but also between PC and PC across different regions.
Even though also in other regions of the world, the principle of the EHEA to shift from a teacher-centred to a learner-centred approach in designing and delivering courses is increasingly acknowledged for the transparency and readability of the educational process, the concrete application of ECTS encounters difficulties.
Mobile students have the right to fair treatment and to transparency of their grades when credits are
transferred from one institution to another, since access to further studies, grants or other benefits may
depend on their level of performance, that is equally important for graduates applying for a job in their own or in another country.
Credit allocation, grading systems and marking criteria vary among different education systems, but also between institutions from the same system. Thus it is difficult if not impossible to accurately convert grades from one system to another. Consequently, in the majority of cases, credit recognition and grade conversions are made directly by the admitting institution. The project, on the base of previous and ongoing cooperation and mobility projects with the partners, provides a concrete and reliable example of compatibility and comparability of credits and grades in some pilot degree courses previously developed by the partners within TEMPUS programme. The HEI will agree on the ECTS allocated to the Modules of the identified degree courses and, to ensure transparent and coherent information on the performance of the individual student, will provide – in addition to their national/institutional grading scale and an explanation of it – a statistical distribution table of the passing grades awarded in the selected fields of study (Grade Distribution Table) showing how the grading scale is actually used in that programme. These synoptic schemes will constitute the base for future mobility among the partners and a basic example for further development of methodology.
