Your final degree classification
First attempt marks or capped module mark following reassessment (whichever is greater) will be used to calculate Degree Classifications.
The University applies the following mark scale to undergraduate work:
First class honours: mark range 70-100
Upper second class honours: mark range 60-69
Lower second class honours: mark range 50-59
Third class honours: mark range 40-49
Fail: mark range 0-39
The pass mark for undergraduate modules is 40.
For information on calculating your award calculation, see the Student Guide to the University’s Rules for Progression and Award in Undergraduate Programmes.
Departmental criteria for a 'first with distinction' or a 'starred first'
The criteria for full-time students are:
A minimum final award mark of 80%
No first attempt module marks lower than 70% in all Stages contributing to the final award mark
Practice modules are marked on a pass/fail basis and therefore do not contribute to your final award mark.
