France uses a 20-point grading scale (note sur 20) across all levels of education. The passing mark is 10 out of 20, and the system is famously rigorous — scores above 16 are rare, and a perfect 20 is virtually never awarded. Your overall grade average (moyenne générale) is calculated as a credit-weighted mean of all your module marks. ECTS credits are used in universities following the Bologna Process, with 30 ECTS per semester being standard.
At the degree level, French universities award mentions (honours) based on your final average: Très Bien (16–20), Bien (14–15.9), Assez Bien (12–13.9), and Passable (10–11.9). Earning a mention Très Bien or Bien is a significant achievement and is valued by employers and graduate programmes. The French system can be misleading to international observers — a French 14/20 is an excellent mark, roughly equivalent to an A in the US or UK system.
When applying to universities abroad, a French 14/20 typically converts to a US GPA of around 3.7, while a 12/20 corresponds roughly to a 3.0–3.3. The ECTS grading table provided by your university can help foreign institutions contextualise your performance relative to your cohort. WES and other credential evaluation services also offer formal conversions. It is important to explain the French system in your applications, as unfamiliarity with the scale can lead to undervaluation of strong French transcripts.
Focus on compensation rules (compensation des notes), which allow weaker marks in one module to be offset by stronger marks in another within the same teaching unit (UE). Many programmes require a minimum average of 10/20 in each UE rather than in every individual module. Understanding your programme's compensation rules can help you allocate study time strategically.
