How to calculate your degree at University of Aberdeen

Aberdeen publishes a Common Grading Scale with grade bands and honours descriptors. A grade on this scale is not interchangeable with a percentage mark.

Where to start

Use the grading-scale document to interpret your marks, then ask your school which honours courses and classification procedure apply. Do not enter grade points as percentages in MyDegreeCalc.

How to calculate your degree at University of Birmingham

Birmingham organises its regulations by the year students began their studies, described as cohort legislation. The newest document is therefore not automatically the one that applies to you.

How to calculate your degree at University of Bristol

Bristol’s undergraduate guide excludes first-year marks from classification and weights later units by both credits and year. The year split depends on the programme; professional programmes in Medicine, Dentistry and Veterinary Sciences are exceptions to this common approach.

Where to start

Find your programme’s year weighting through the official guide, then enter the contributing years and unit credits in the calculator. Do not assume that every Bristol course uses a 40:60 split.

What to check before trusting an estimate

The guide also describes rounding and a borderline review based on the distribution of weighted unit marks. MyDegreeCalc does not apply that review, so check the official rules if your average is near a boundary.

How to calculate your degree at University of Portsmouth

The Portsmouth calculator compares two results: Rule A combines relevant level 5 and 6 marks at 40:60 after discounting the weakest 20 credits at each level; Rule B uses level 6 after discounting its weakest 20 credits. The page displays the better result.

Where to start

Check that those published rules cover your course and cohort. Use Portsmouth’s tool for the rule comparison; a simple 40:60 average of every module is not the same calculation.

What to check before trusting an estimate

MyDegreeCalc does not automatically discard credits, compare Rules A and B or apply Portsmouth’s integer rounding. You can explore manually selected inputs, but use the university guidance for the classification decision.

Where to start

Follow the official guidance to the calculators and tutorials in SOL. Establish which credits belong in each group before doing arithmetic; simply entering all second- and final-year modules at 30:70 can give a different result.

What to check before trusting an estimate

The published guidance gives 69.5% as the standard First boundary and 59.5% for a 2:1. MyDegreeCalc’s generic classification bands do not implement those thresholds or the credit selection. The source refers to the 2025/26 handbook; verify the regulations applicable to your cohort.

Where to start

Confirm your scheme in your programme information before choosing inputs. For that specific Scheme C example, 3:5 converts to 37.5% and 62.5%; enter those as custom year weights. Other schemes require different inputs.

What to check before trusting an estimate

The honours rules include a direct First threshold of 69.50% and an alternative at 68.50% with a qualifying final-year credit profile. MyDegreeCalc does not apply either UCL-specific route automatically. Check the official mark and credit conditions.
