Since 2005 the Matura has been marked on a percentage scale with a pass mark of 30%.

A-level	Comparable offer
AAA	80 per cent
AAB	80 per cent
ABB	75 per cent
BBB	70 per cent
BBC	65 per cent
BCC	60 per cent
CCC	60 per cent

Postgraduate

We require a three-year post-2001 Licencjat / Inżynier (bachelor’s degree) OR three-year pre-2000 Magister / Magister Inżynier (master's degree). Magister degrees studied after 2000 are considered comparable to British master's degree standard.

Most universities use a 2 to 5 scale, where 2 is the minimum and 5 is the maximum pass mark. Grades above 3 can include 0.5 point increments. Some universities use the grade 5.5 (5+) or 6 as celujący (excellent) and it is given to indicate the very highest achievements. Scale for all qualifications:

Polish degree classification	Alternative name	English translation or equivalent
A/A1*	5/6	Excellent = 1st
B	4.5/4+	Very good = 2:1
C	4	Better than good = 2:2
