Diploma

Successful students will be awarded a joint Master Diploma by all three Consortium Institutions: 

• Magistr (Mgr.) v magisterském studijním programu Global Development Policy  [Master in master program Global Development Policy] from Palacký University Olomouc
• Master of Science (M.Sc.) in Development Economics from the Georg-August-Universität Göttingen
• Master mention Economie du Développement, parcours Development Economics [Master program in Economics of Development, specialization Development Economics] from University of Clermont Auvergne

Students also receive a Diploma Supplement issued by Palacky University, which contains marks from all semesters converted to a common GLODEP grading system. The diploma Supplement is issued a few days after the Final Exam. A Joint Master Diploma is distributed to the students in several months after the Final Exam.

GLODEP – Palacky University (as the leading Consortium university) does NOT provide GPA scores. The diploma supplement includes all marks converted to a common GLODEP grading system (A-F, according to UPOL, Czech Republic). GLODEP grading only distinguishes between two categories of students – graduated and graduated with honors – as stated in the Diploma Supplement.

• Graduated with honours – (i) “weighted average” from the courses not more than 1,5 and (ii) state exam and defence – average not more than 1,25 (both conditions have to be met)
• Graduated – if not fulfilled conditions above

Upon request, the Study department of the Faculty of Science (UPOL) can provide the students with weighted averages for courses (excluding state exam and thesis defense).
