UK Degree Classification Calculator

This UK degree classification calculator helps students instantly find out whether they are on track for a First Class, Upper Second (2:1), Lower Second (2:2), or Third Class Honours degree. The standard UK degree classification system divides results into these four main classes based on overall weighted average percentage, with 70% and above earning a First, 60–69% earning a 2:1, 50–59% earning a 2:2, and 40–49% earning a Third.

The module weighted average mode is particularly useful for students who want to see exactly how each module contributes to their overall classification based on credit value. Higher credit modules have a greater impact on your final average than lower credit ones, making this calculation essential for strategic exam preparation.
