Asked for PhD grade in application but no grades awarded in my country I'm applying for a fellowship in continental Europe (Spain) and have been asked what grade I received. I think in many countries it's normal to receive grades over the course of a PhD, as well as an overall grade (of the form &quot;with distinction&quot;, &quot;cum laude&quot; etc.) but this isn't common in the UK, where I received my PhD.
How should I answer the question? &quot;N/A&quot; seems most obvious, but should I explain in a footnote why I received no grade?
In all questions like this the appropriate course of action is to contact the people who run the application process and ask.
They will be able to give you the appropriate instructions taking into account all the details we don't know. E.g. can you even leave it blank, is there an automated system, does it even matter for the ones that do have a grade etc.?
