Understanding the UK Degree Classification System

Unlike the US system which uses a 4.0 GPA scale based on letter grades, the UK higher education system grades students using a percentage-based approach, which is then mapped to a degree classification (Honours).

  • First-Class Honours (1st): 70% and above. This is the highest level of degree, equivalent to an A average in the US.
  • Upper Second-Class Honours (2:1): 60% - 69%. This is a very good degree and is often the minimum requirement for many graduate programs and top employers.
  • Lower Second-Class Honours (2:2): 50% - 59%. Equivalent to a B/C average in the US.
  • Third-Class Honours (3rd): 40% - 49%. The lowest passing honours degree.
  • Fail: Below 40%.

Your overall degree classification is usually determined by your Weighted Average Mark (WAM), calculated by weighting your module marks by their credit value.

Frequently Asked Questions

A First-Class Honours (1st) is the highest UK degree classification, awarded for a Weighted Average Mark (WAM) of 70% or above. It is equivalent to roughly a 3.8+ GPA in the US system and is required for most PhD programmes and highly competitive graduate schemes.
A 2:1 (Upper Second-Class Honours) is awarded for a WAM of 60–69%. It is considered a strong degree and is the minimum requirement for most UK graduate schemes, law firms, Big 4 accountancy firms, and postgraduate programmes. The majority of UK graduates achieve a 2:1.
Your Weighted Average Mark (WAM) is calculated by multiplying each module's percentage grade by its credit value, summing all results, and dividing by the total number of credits. Final year modules are typically weighted more heavily (e.g., 2:1 weighting) than first or second year modules.
A 2:2 (Lower Second-Class Honours) can limit access to some highly competitive graduate schemes that require a 2:1 minimum. However, many employers consider the full picture: work experience, skills, and extracurriculars. A strong LNAT, professional certifications, or relevant internships can offset a 2:2.
Yes. A First (70%+) is approximately a 3.7–4.0 US GPA. A 2:1 (60–69%) maps to roughly 3.3–3.7. A 2:2 (50–59%) is approximately 2.7–3.3. Use our UK to US GPA converter for a precise calculation.
