Official Grading Scale
University of Oxford uses a Percentage / UK Degree Classification with Finals-Based System.
Oxford uses a unique Finals-based classification system. For most undergraduate degrees, classification is determined by the **numerical average of final examination papers** (typically 8 papers, or best 8 of 9 if a thesis is submitted). First Class Honours requires 70%+ average, 2:1 requires 60–69%, 2:2 requires 50–59%, and Third requires 40–49%. There is no year-by-year weighted average system — classification is primarily decided by Finals performance.

A mark below 40% is classified as a Fail at Oxford. Students who fail Finals may be allowed a resit or may be awarded an Ordinary Degree (pass without Honours) depending on their specific program and circumstances.
