For the National Technical University of Athens (polytehnio) the above grades are
different: 9-10 is "excellent", 7-9 is "very good", 5-7 is "good", 0-4.9 is "fail".
Most of the degrees can be equivalent to a bachelor's degree with honours BSc(Hons)
/ BEng(Hons) since all courses are 4 to 5 years and most of them professionally
accredited. All modules, from all years, must be passed with a minimum grade of 5.00
(50%) in order for a degree to be assessed/awarded and there is currently no limit in
resits. The classification (Ἀριστα, Λίαν Καλὠς, Καλὠς) is derived from the overall credit-
weighted average for all modules including the 'diplomatiki' (university/polytechnic) or
'ptichiaki' (TEI). (dissertation/project)
