About MyDegreeCalc
An independent UK university degree calculator and original student resource.
Why MyDegreeCalc exists
Degree calculations become confusing when assessments have different percentages, modules have different credit values and academic years contribute different amounts to the final award. MyDegreeCalc brings those layers into one transparent calculator.
The site helps students understand their current position, test realistic future-mark scenarios and prepare better questions before checking official university regulations.
Who publishes the site
MyDegreeCalc is independently built and maintained in the United Kingdom. It is not owned by, sponsored by or affiliated with a university, examination board or government body.
The site does not collect student records from universities. Calculator marks remain in browser storage unless the user chooses to export or share them.
What the calculator does
- Combines coursework, exams, projects and other assessments into module marks.
- Weights modules by their credit values to calculate academic-year averages.
- Weights academic years to estimate an overall degree average.
- Shows common UK classification bands and progress towards the next boundary.
- Displays the year-by-year working used in the estimate.
- Saves progress locally and supports JSON backups and PDF reports.
How to use it responsibly
1. Find the official rules
Use the handbook or regulations for your programme and year of entry. Another student’s weighting may not apply to your course.
2. Enter official credits and marks
Use the credit value and recorded mark that the university includes in the award calculation, including any cap or adjustment.
3. Keep predictions separate
Future-mark scenarios are useful for planning but should not be confused with confirmed results.
4. Check the estimate
Compare the numerical result with published borderline, rounding, progression and reassessment rules.
Original student guides
The student guide library contains original worked examples on module credits, academic-year weightings, first-year contributions, target exam marks, resits and borderline classifications. The guide index and calculator are intentionally ad-free.
Substantial article pages may include advertising after the article has enough original publisher content to remain the clear focus. Advertising does not influence calculator results or editorial conclusions.
Editorial standards
Guide topics are selected from specific student calculation problems. Each article is expected to explain the method, include worked examples or checklists and distinguish general arithmetic from institution-specific rules.
The editorial policy explains research priorities, calculation checks, corrections and the use of automated tools.
Privacy and funding
Marks and calculator structure are stored locally in the browser and are not sent to a MyDegreeCalc calculator server. Third-party services may process hosting, contact-form or advertising information as explained in the privacy and cookie policy.
Advertising on eligible article pages helps support the cost of keeping the calculator and guides available without a paid account.
Important limitation
MyDegreeCalc provides estimates and general educational information. A university and its examination board make the official decision about progression and classification.
