How the Germany system works
uni-assist evaluates foreign qualifications for most German universities and converts your grade with the modified Bavarian formula. Lower is better — 1.0 is the top mark.
Is it competitive?
Most Germany master's programmes look for the equivalent of a US 3.0+ (an upper-second / good average), with competitive and funded programmes wanting more. Convert first, then check each programme's stated minimum. For a credit-weighted multi-course result, use the WES iGPA calculator.
Frequently asked questions

No. Use it for planning and shortlisting. uni-assist evaluates foreign qualifications for most German universities and converts your grade with the modified Bavarian formula. Lower is better — 1.0 is the top mark.
What Canada grade do I need to study in Germany?
It depends on the programme, but a strong upper-tier %s result (roughly a US 3.0+ equivalent) is competitive for most master's programmes; selective and funded programmes expect more.
