UK Degree Classification Calculator — First, 2:1, 2:2

Turn UK module marks into a degree class: First, 2:1, 2:2, or Third. UK results are not a US 4.0 GPA.

Enter module marks and credits. If you include both Year 2 and Year 3, we apply your year weights (common pattern: 40% / 60%).

Year 2 weight (%)

Year 3 weight (%)

Within 2 marks of a First (1st). Borderline rules are university- and programme-specific (for example UCL 69.50/68.50 policies) — this calculator does not apply them unless you configure your own scheme.

Predicted classification

Upper Second (2:1)

Overall mark 68.40% · Y2 66.0% · Y3 70.0%

1.6 marks to a First (1st)

Recalculate a single year average

Use the weighted grade calculator if your handbook uses category weights instead of credits.

How it works

Add each UK module with its mark (0–100) and credit value.
Tag modules as Year 2 or Year 3. If both years appear, we apply your year weights (often 40/60).
Read the credit-weighted average and the predicted First / 2:1 / 2:2 / Third.

Formula

If both years: Overall = Y2 average × w2 + Y3 average × w3. Otherwise: Σ(mark × credits) ÷ Σ(credits).

Example: Year 2 average 62% at 40% and Year 3 average 74% at 60% → overall 69.2% → Upper Second (2:1), 0.8 marks from a First. Letter cut-offs use the unrounded result.
