Calculate your UK Weighted Average Mark (WAM) and predict your degree Honours classification based on your module marks and credits.

How is a UK Degree Classified?

In the UK, your overall degree result is determined by your Weighted Average Mark (WAM), which is then mapped to an Honours classification.

WAM Formula: WAM = Σ (Module Mark × Module Credits) ÷ Σ (Total Credits)

This ensures that modules worth more credits have a proportionately larger impact on your final degree classification.
