Taiwan → Dutch grade conversion table
Taiwanese higher education commonly reports numeric marks on a 0-100 scale, often with letter grades alongside the marks. A mark of 60 is normally the minimum pass at tertiary level.
| Home grade | Dutch grade (1–10) | Level |
|---|---|---|
| A+ / Superior (90-100) | 8.0–8.5 | excellent |
| A / Excellent (80-89) | 7.0–7.8 | very good |
| B / Good (70-79) | 6.3–7.0 | good |
| C / Pass (60-69) | 5.5–6.2 | pass |
| F / Fail (0-59) | 1.0–5.4 | fail |
How the Dutch 1–10 scale works
Dutch grades run from 1 to 10, with 5.5 the minimum pass. Most grades fall between 6 and 8; a 9 is rare and a 10 is almost never awarded. Read more in our Dutch grading system guide.
Will my grades be good enough?
For Dutch admissions, the diploma level is assessed separately from grades: Nuffic compares a four-year Taiwanese bachelor's degree to an HBO or WO bachelor's degree. Selective Dutch master's programmes commonly look for a solid B/A-range average or strong class standing, so an 80+ average is usually more competitive than a bare pass.

These conversions are estimates. An official grade conversion requires a formal credential evaluation, and each university makes its own admission decision. See our credential evaluation and ECTS credits guides.
