UK Degree Classification Calculator

Estimate your UK degree classification — First, 2:1, 2:2 or Third — from your module marks and credits and your university's year weightings.

How to use

  1. 1Enter your average mark for each year and how much each year counts (e.g. 40% second year, 60% final year).
  2. 2See your weighted average and likely classification.

How it's calculated

Weighted average = Σ(year average × year weight) ÷ Σ weights. First ≥ 70, 2:1 ≥ 60, 2:2 ≥ 50, Third ≥ 40. Many universities also consider borderline rules and your best credits.

Frequently asked questions

Does first year count?

At most English universities first year doesn't count toward the classification. Scottish and some other universities differ — check your regulations.

What is a borderline?

Marks just below a boundary (often within 1–2%) may be raised if most of your final-year credits are in the higher band — rules vary.

What about integrated master's degrees?

Four-year MEng/MSci degrees often weight the third and fourth years. Enter the weights from your programme handbook.
