Grading scales
The official grading scale at Stockholm University for PhD studies is pass (G) and fail (U). These are the grades you will see in Ladok. However, SSE has a three-point scale: pass with distinction (VG), pass and fail, and you will receive additional grades on this scale in your first year, which will be reported in another system by the department.

GSC is a forum for discussion among the graduate students. Find more information on our websites.
