Apart from the module grades und credit point scores the grade and credit points achieved with the Master’s thesis should also be included in this calculation. In the calculation of the overall grade the module grades from the compulsory courses are counted with a factor of 1.0, the grades from the compulsory optional courses are counted with a factor of 1.5 and the grade from the Master’s thesis is counted with a factor of 2.0. Decimal values are rounded to the first place after the decimal place.
