How to use this Calculator Site tool

Enter the credit value and percentage grade for each of your university modules. The  calculator will compute your weighted average and determine your overall degree classification based on the standard UK system. You can add or remove modules as needed.

Understanding Your Degree Classification

In the United Kingdom, university degrees are typically classified based on a weighted average of the marks you achieve in your modules. This system provides a clear measure of your academic performance. Understanding how these classifications work is crucial for knowing where you stand and what employers look for.

70%+

First Class

60-69%

Upper Second (2:1)

50-59%

Lower Second (2:2)

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.
