A maximum of 5 best averages is calculated for students who have passed 60 or more ECTs in the academic year to which the merit refers and by course (1^stand 2^nd cycles and post-graduate courses) to achieve the NOVA IMS academic merit standard.

Only course units taught and passed at NOVA IMS and in the academic year to which the merit refers are considered to calculate the average.

In calculating the academic merit of the students doing the Masters in Geospatial Technologies (Erasmus Mundus), the five best averages of students who have attended and passed all NOVA IMS first semester course units and a total of 30 or more ECTS are calculated.
