ECTS grading system:
Student assessment is carried out in accordance with the current regulations of the University of Rijeka, adopted by the Faculty Council of the Faculty of Medicine in Rijeka.
Students' performance will be evaluated during the course and at the final exam. Out of a total of 100 credits, a student can earn 50 credits during the course, and 50 credits at the final exam.
The maximum of 50 credit points can be earned during the course, and at least 50% (25 credit points), are necessary in order to take the final exam. Students who earn 0-49.9% (0-24.9 credit points) during the course, earn an F (fail) grade, no ECTS credits, and must re-enroll in the course.
During the course, the student can earn a maximum of 50 credit point by actively participating in classes, completing seminar assignment.

Table 2. Assessment method at final written (55% pass threshold) and oral examination
Written exam
< 55%-neprolazno
55 – 59,99% = 10
60 – 64,99% = 22
65 – 69,99% = 28
70 – 74,99% = 30
75 – 79,99% = 34
80 – 84,99% = 36
85 – 89,99% = 46
90 – 94,99% = 48
95 – 100% = 50
Assessment in the ECTS system is done by absolute distribution, ie on the basis of final achievement
(credit points earned during the course are added to the points from the final exam):
A = 90 - 100%
B = 75 - 89,9%
C = 60 - 74,9%
D = 50 - 59,9%
F = 0 - 49,9%
The grades in the ECTS system are translated into the numerical system as follows:
A = escellent (5)
B = very good (4)
C = good (3)
D = sufficient (2)
F = insufficient (1)
