Students are required to attend regularly all forms of classes (on-line or on-site).

Student grading will be conducted according to the current Ordinance on Studies of the University of Rijeka and the Ordinance on Student Grading at the Faculty of Medicine in Rijeka. Student assessment is performed using ECTS (A-F) and number system (1-5). Assessment in the ECTS system is performed by absolute distribution, and according to graduate assessment criteria.

I. Grades are not earned during classes (small course; 1.5 ECTS)

The student acquires grade points in the following way:

Class attendance is not specifically scored. A student may miss 30% of classes due to health reasons, which is justified by a medical certificate. If a student is unjustifiably absent from more than 30% of classes, he / she cannot continue following the course and loses the opportunity to take the final exam.

II. Final exam (total 100 points)

The final exam consists of a compulsory written and oral part. The written part of the exam carries up to 50 grade points. The oral exam carries 50 grade points.

a) Mandatory written test (up to 50 grade points)

The written test consists of 35 questions, and carries 50 grade points (the criteria for obtaining points is 50% of correctly solved questions).

a) Mandatory written test (up to 50 grade points)

The written test consists of 35 questions, and carries 50 grade points (the criteria for obtaining is 50% of correct answers).

b) Final oral exam (up to 50 grade points )

Students who have not taken the compulsory written test, as well as students who have not passed the exam threshold, ie have not passed more than 50% of the successfully passed test, do not have the right to take the oral exam (re-enroll in the second year).

To pass the final oral exam and the final grade (including the addition of previously achieved grade points on the mandatory test), the student must be positively graded and achieve a minimum of 50% of correct answers.

The ECTS grading system is defined by the following criteria:

A – 90 - 100% credits B – 75 - 89,9% C – 60 - 74,9% D -- 50 - 59,9% F – 0 - 49,9%

Grades in ECTS grading system are converted in numerical system by the following criteria:

A = excellent (5) B = very good (4) C = good (3) D = sufficient (2) F = insufficient (1)
