Frequently Asked Questions
A First-Class Honours (1st) is the highest undergraduate classification, requiring an overall average of 70%+. Approximately 30% of UK graduates achieve a First, and it is highly valued by employers and graduate schools.
UK degrees are classified as: First (70%+), Upper Second/2:1 (60-69%), Lower Second/2:2 (50-59%), Third (40-49%). Most universities weight final year marks at 60-70% of the classification.
A 2:2 closes some doors (most graduate schemes require 2:1+), but many employers in SMEs, startups, and specific industries accept 2:2 graduates. Relevant work experience can compensate for a 2:2.
