UK Degree Calculator FAQ

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

A weighted degree average gives more influence to work that counts for more credits or contributes more to your final degree. A 30 credit module usually affects your year average twice as much as a 15 credit module, and a final year with a 70% weighting affects the final average more than a year worth 30%.

Add each component, such as coursework, exams, projects or presentations. Enter the mark and the component weight. For example, an exam worth 60% and coursework worth 40% are combined into a single weighted module average.

Usually, yes. Most modules split components across 100%, such as 60% exam and 40% coursework. MyDegreeCalc still shows you when the component weights do not total 100% so you can correct unusual entries before relying on the result.

A common UK undergraduate classification scale is First at 70% and above, 2:1 from 60-69%, 2:2 from 50-59%, Third from 40-49%, and Pass below that where applicable. Your university may use additional borderline rules.

Use the weighting published by your university or course handbook. Common UK structures include final year only, second and final year weighted 40:60, or second and final year weighted 30:70. If a year does not count, set its weighting to 0%.

Yes. Add Year 1 if you want to track it, but set the year weighting to 0%. MyDegreeCalc will still show the year average while excluding that year from the overall weighted degree estimate.

Some universities use borderline rules, profile rules, capped resit marks, professional requirements or minimum credit rules. MyDegreeCalc gives a useful estimate, but your official classification is always decided by your university regulations.

Yes. Enter your confirmed marks first, then add estimated marks for future components or modules. Adjust the estimates until the overall average reaches your target classification.

You can add modules before you know every mark, but incomplete modules will not count in the overall estimate until the required marks, credits and weightings are entered. This helps avoid a misleading final average.

Enter the mark that your university will use for classification. If a resit is capped at 40%, use the capped mark rather than the raw resit score. Check your course regulations if you are unsure.
