Evaluation (ECTS credit system):
Student grading is conducted according to the current Ordinance on Studies of the University of Rijeka and the Ordinance on Student Assessment and Evaluation at the Faculty of Medicine in Rijeka (approved by the Faculty Council).
Students are graded according to the ECTS (A–E) and numerical system (1–5).
Out of a total of 100 grade points (100%), the student can obtain a maximum of 50% of grade points during classes and a maximum of 50% of grade points on the final oral exam.
There are no colloquia to assess student knowledge during classes. After classes are finished, students take a written test, which is a prerequisite for taking the final oral exam. The student can obtain a maximum of 50 grade points on the test, with the required level of 50% of solved questions for passing the test, i.e. at least 25 points. The prerequisite for taking the final oral exam is obtaining a minimum of 25 grade points during classes (provided that the test is passed with 50% correct answers, i.e. 20 points on the test).
After passing the oral examination, the final grade is formed by adding up the points obtained during classes and the points obtained on the oral exam.
Written test (maximum 50 grade points)
After attending classes (lectures and practicals), the student acquires grade points by taking a test consisting of 60 questions. The pass threshold (sufficient) is 50% (30) correct answers and the student can obtain the points according to the following table:
Class attendance: The student should compensate for any absence from practicals.
The final exam is oral. Success on the oral exam is converted into grade points as follows:
The student should obtain at least 25 points (50% of the total 50 points) on the final exam to obtain the final grade.
The final grade and knowledge assessment is the sum of grade points obtained during classes and on the final exam. The final student assessment is performed as follows:
- 90–100%, excellent (5), corresponds to grade A on the ECTS scale
- 75–89.9 %, very good (4), corresponds to grade B on the ECTS scale
- 60–74.9 %, good (3), corresponds to grade C on the ECTS scale
- 50–59.9 %, sufficient (2), corresponds to grade D on the ECTS scale
- 0–49.9 %, insufficient (1), corresponds to grade F on the ECTS scale
Who can take the final exam:
- students who obtained 25 and more grade points during classes.
Who cannot take the final exam:
- students who obtained less than 25 grade points during classes
- students who did not take the written test
- students who did not compensate for their absence from practicals.
