How UK Degree Classifications Work
UK universities classify degrees into four main bands: First Class Honours (1st), Upper Second Class (2:1), Lower Second Class (2:2), and Third Class Honours (3rd). A First requires an average of 70% or above, while a 2:1 — the most common classification and the minimum required by most graduate employers — requires 60–69%.
Most UK degrees are weighted, meaning that not all years count equally towards your final classification. Typically, the first year does not count at all (it is a qualifying year), the second year counts for around 30–40%, and the final year carries the most weight at 60–70%. Always check your university's specific weighting scheme, as it varies by institution.
Credit weighting within a year also matters. A 40-credit module contributes twice as much to your GPA as a 20-credit module. This calculator uses a credit-weighted average to give you the most accurate prediction of your final classification based on your current grades.
