Generic UK degree classification thresholds

These are the thresholds the calculator uses. They are generic โ€” your university's regulations are the only authority that matters for your result.

The thresholds

ClassificationGeneric threshold
First-Class Honours (First)70% and above
Upper Second-Class (2:1)60% to below 70%
Lower Second-Class (2:2)50% to below 60%
Third-Class Honours40% to below 50%
Below Third / FailBelow 40%

Why "generic"?

These boundaries are the common pattern across UK undergraduate honours degrees, and they're what the estimator applies. But classification is governed by each university's own regulations: boundary values, rounding, borderline zones, and how marks from different years combine can all differ โ€” sometimes by course within the same university.

If your regulations define anything different, your regulations win. See how to check your university regulations and assumptions & limitations.
