Final Classification
Final classification = α (A) + β (B) + Ω (C)
Where
- α is the weighting of component A [0.2]
- A is the Professional Experience of the candidate [0-20]
- β is the weighting of component B [0.6]
- B is the Specific Professional Training of the candidate [0-20]
- Ω is the weighting of component C [0.2]
- C is the average Bachelor's degree classification of the candidate [0-20]
The breakdown is as follows:
A. Professional Experience
B. Specific Professional Training
C. Average Bachelor's degree classification
Therefore, the algorithm, in full, has the following expression:
Final classification = α (A) + β (B) + Ω (C)
Students must obtain a minimum final classification of 10 points. Candidates who do not achieve this classification will be considered excluded. The formal specification of the weightings attributed to each of the components and the score reserved for each criterion, for this 2nd cycle course, is as follows:
