Examination marks

The Swiss and the international diploma courses are taught in tandem. This means that you can gain both diplomas with only one course and one exam. The only difference is the way in which your marks contribute towards the overall assessment.

  • Swiss diplomas: with Swiss diplomas you may achieve a mark below 4 on some papers, but nevertheless pass the examination as long as you achieve an average mark of 4.
  • International diplomas: with the international diplomas you must gain at least a 4 in all subjects examined. Otherwise you will fail the exam.
