About the Degree Classification Calculator

UK honours degrees are classified by a weighted average of module marks, usually from the second and final years. The boundaries are standard, but the weighting and borderline rules differ by university.

The formula

Average = year 2 × (1 − w) + final year × w

UK classification boundaries

Questions people ask

Do all universities weight years the same?

No. Some count only the final year; others use 50/50 or 40/60. Check your programme's regulations.

What is a borderline?

Many universities review marks within 1–2% of a boundary using rules like the majority of credits in the higher class.
