Note: In the Netherlands, grades range from 0 to 10, with 10 being the highest. It is often said that a 10 is "for the gods"—a legendary grade that not every staff member has seen in their lifetime at TU/e or TU Delft. To achieve a 10, a student must typically have two papers accepted at top-ranked conferences in their field during their master's thesis, meaning within just six months of research work! Grades of 9 and 9.5 are also rare and signify "Excellent" research that results in a top-ranked conference paper. Grades of 8 or 8.5 are considered "Very good" and represent research that advances the state of the art and can result in a paper.
