You can find out how your degree is calculated by referring to the Assessment Regulations.
For undergraduate students, we have two methods for calculating your degree outcomes. We will always apply the classification method that gives you the best outcome for your degree.
Method 1: your average marks from Level 5 and Level 6 (for a full-time UG student, this is second year and third year) are combined. These marks are weighted with Level 5 contributing 25% towards the final mark and Level 6 contributing 75%.
Method 2: only marks from a your final year count towards your degree outcome, which is based on an average mark across the whole level as well as marks in individual modules.
If you are an undergraduate student, you can find out how your degree is awarded by referring to regulations C4 and C7 in the Assessment Regulations.
If you are an undergraduate student or undertaking an Integrated Master’s Degree, you can use our undergraduate degree classification calculator to estimate the degree you will be awarded based on your grades.
If you are a taught postgraduate student, your degree will be a weighted average calculated from your 180 taught credits. The degree classification boundaries are:
- Pass - passed all modules
- Merit - at least 60%
- Distinction - at least 70%
You can use our taught postgraduate degree classification calculator to estimate the degree you will be awarded based on your grades.
