UK Degree Calculator FAQ

Enter each academic year, add modules, set the module credits, then add assessment marks and weightings. MyDegreeCalc calculates each module average, each year average weighted by credits and the overall degree estimate weighted by year contribution.

A weighted average gives more influence to work that contributes more. A 40-credit project normally affects a year average twice as much as a 20-credit module, and a final year worth 70% affects the degree more than a year worth 30%. See the complete weighted-average guide.

Add each assessment and enter its mark and percentage weighting. An exam worth 60% and coursework worth 40% are multiplied by those percentages before being combined.

Usually, yes. The calculator warns you when completed assessment weightings do not total 100%, so you can check for a missing or incorrect entry.

A module is excluded until all required marks, credits and weightings can produce a valid result. This prevents a blank mark from being treated as zero or an incomplete module from distorting the estimate.

Multiply each completed module mark by its credit value, add the products and divide by the total counted credits. The module credit guide includes a 120-credit worked example.

Common UK undergraduate bands are First at 70% and above, 2:1 from 60% to 69%, 2:2 from 50% to 59% and Third from 40% to 49%. Your university may apply borderline, profile or course-specific rules.

Use the weighting published in the regulations or handbook for your programme and year of entry. Common structures include final year only, 40:60, 33.33:66.67, 30:70, 25:75 and 50:50. See the year weighting guide.

On many courses, first year is required for progression but contributes 0% to the final classification. Other programmes use different structures. The first-year guide explains how to check and enter a non-counting year.

Universities can use rounding rules, borderline profiles, minimum credit requirements, capped resits, professional requirements or examination-board decisions. MyDegreeCalc provides an estimate, not an official award.

No universal UK rule guarantees that. Some institutions round, others use unrounded figures or a separate credit-profile test. Read the borderline classification guide and your official regulations.

Enter confirmed marks first, then add realistic estimates for future work. Adjust the estimates to test cautious, likely and stretch scenarios. The target degree guide explains the method.

Subtract the weighted points already secured from the target module mark, then divide by the weighting of the remaining exam. See the exam target guide for examples and impossible-target checks.

Enter the mark your university will use in the award calculation. If a successful resit is officially capped at the pass mark, use the capped result rather than the raw score. The resit guide explains component and module caps.
