Final Degree percerntage calculation

Hi, I am sorry if this has already been asked before. I am doing an MSc course which has got 8 modules plus a dissertation.
Each of the 8 modules have 7.5 ECTS credits and the dissertation has 30 ECTS.
So, my question- Does dissertation has more weight compared to the modules with 7.5 ECTS during the calculation of overall degree percentage?
Thanks in advance! :smile:
Your dissertations affect on your overall grade is proportional to the credit load of that module. In this case, your diss module is worth 4 other modules, in terms of weighting; i.e. 1/3 of your total degree in this case. They also usually require that you at least pass the dissertation to be awarded the degree (otherwise you may get a diploma/certificate).

Basically, don't screw up your dissertation :P
