Convert Italian grades to UK

From Italian (0–30) to UK (Percentage). Instant, free, calculated in your browser.

Italian students applying to UK master's programmes need to translate 30-point exam results into the UK percentage and classification system.

How the Italian → UK conversion works

Every MyCollab conversion runs through a single 0–1 normalized score so the math stays consistent across all nine systems.

On the Italian 0–30 scale, the normalized score is grade ÷ 30, so 30/30 (or 30L) maps to 1.0 and 18/30 to 0.6.

To express the normalized score on the UK percentage scale, MyCollab multiplies by 100 and reports the corresponding classification (First, 2:1, 2:2, Third, Pass).

Worked example: a 28 on the Italian (0–30) scale normalizes to 0.93. On the UK (Percentage) scale, 0.93 corresponds to 93.3% (First Class (1st)).

Common questions

Is this conversion accepted by UK universities?+
MyCollab's conversion follows the same normalized-score approach used by services like WES, ECCTIS (UK NARIC), and Uni-Assist. Individual universities make their own final decisions, but a MyCollab conversion gives you a defensible reference point when you discuss your transcript with admissions or with a credential evaluator. Always check the target university's published admissions guidance for any institution-specific adjustments.
Do graduate programmes use a different UK scale?+
Some graduate programmes apply stricter thresholds: for example, US graduate schools often expect a normalized score above 0.75 (≈ B+ / 3.3), and German master's programmes often want a 2.5 or better. MyCollab gives you the underlying conversion; programme-specific thresholds are on each university's admissions page. The /sop-checklist tool surfaces typical thresholds per country.
What about pass/fail or untranslated courses?+
Pass/fail courses on a Italian transcript usually do not carry a numeric grade and therefore do not participate in the GPA conversion. Most credential evaluators exclude them from the GPA calculation but still list them on the official transcript. Leave them out of the MyCollab calculator unless your target programme has a published rule for converting them.
How is the Italian-to-UK conversion calculated?+
MyCollab normalizes the Italian grade onto a 0–1 scale (0–30 with 18 to pass (30 cum laude = 30L)), then projects that score onto the UK scale (0–100 % with 40 to pass; First ≥ 70, 2:1 ≥ 60). The result is always grounded in the official published ranges — no opaque weighting, no proprietary curves. The math is explained in plain language above and exposed in the /my-grades tool.
