A First Class Honours is the highest classification, awarded for outstanding academic achievement. An Upper Second Class Honours (2:1) is the most common and is often a minimum requirement for graduate schemes and postgraduate study. A Lower Second Class Honours (2:2) is a respectable classification, while a Third is the lowest passing grade.
The Importance of Credit Weighting
Not all modules are equal. Modules with a higher credit value, such as a final year dissertation, have a much greater impact on your final grade. Pay close attention to these high-stakes assessments.
