NEW SCHEME OF DEGREE CLASSIFICATION
FOR THREE-YEAR DEGREE PROGRAMMES
The rules should be applied in the following order until an outcome is reached.
Credits in band Weighted Average Failed modules Outcome
1 In the range 0-100% and failed modules worth 50 = Fail and resit (or if resits already
credits or more: taken then course termination)
2 In the range 0-34% = Fail and resit (or if resits already
taken then course termination)
3 In the range 70-100% = First
4 Modules to the value of at least and in the range 65– 69% and failed modules worth less = First
120 credits at 70% or better than 40 credits
5 Modules to the value of at least and in the range 65– 69% and failed modules worth less = Borderline first - refer to external
120 credits at 68% or better, than 40 credits examiner. Award first only with
including modules to the value of the agreement of the external
at least 90 credits at 70% or examiner otherwise 2.1.

Calculating the weighted average for three-year programmes
The weighted average is to be calculated on the basis of all second and third year marks. Each year average is calculated first. If all modules
in a year have the same credit value then the average for the year is a simple average. If the modules in a year have different credit values
(e.g. some 10 and some 20) then they are weighted by their credit value in calculating the year average.
Having calculated the year averages for the second and final year, the two averages are combined with a weighting of 60:40 in favour of the
final year average.
For the purposes of identifying students’ best performances on a module-by-module basis in order to meet the 120 “credits in the band”
threshold for a particular class, all second and third year modules are equal (only differentiated by their credit value where applicable).
Calculating the weighted average for the four-year programmes with a year out
In the case of four-year programmes in which the year out does not count towards the final classification, the second and fourth years are
used in determining the degree class, using the same weighting calculation as for three-year programmes with a 60:40 weighting in favour of
the final year average.
