Year weighting ?How much each year counts toward your final classification. Most UK universities weight your final year more heavily than Year 2.

Year 2 33%

Year 3 67%

Placement year is usually pass/fail at most UK universities and isn't included in your classification average - only Year 2 and your Final Year count below.

▸ Advanced options (different course structure, borderline rules)

Course structure ?Choose "With Placement" if you have a work-placement year (usually pass/fail, not counted). Choose "Integrated Masters" for 4-year MEng/MSci/MChem courses where Year 4 also counts.

Include Year 1 in my average (uncommon - most courses don't count it)

Borderline & module rules ?These rules can bump your classification up if you're just below a boundary, or drop your weakest module(s). Exact rules vary by university - check the Verified Sources tab.

Apply borderline uplift rule - verified against 10 UK universities: if you're close to the next class up and enough of your credits already meet it, most universities round you up.

Zone width ?How close to the boundary counts as "borderline". E.g. 2% means 68.0-69.9% is checked for a possible uplift to First. % (e.g. UCL 1, Birmingham/Sheffield 1.5, Manchester/Bristol/KCL 2)

Credit majority ?What share of your credits must already be at the higher class for the uplift to apply. Most unis use 50%; Manchester requires 67% (2/3). % (most unis 50, Manchester needs 67)

Discard my lowest module(s) each year - some universities drop your worst-scoring module(s) before averaging.

Year-by-year breakdown

Note: boundaries follow standard UK bands (First 70+, 2:1 60-69, 2:2 50-59, Third 40-49) - confirmed against 10 real UK university regulations (see "Verified Sources" tab above). Oxford and Cambridge use a different exam-board system entirely. Exact borderline thresholds still vary by institution, so treat this as a close estimate and confirm your final result with your university.

▸ What this means for you

Summary: 33:67 year weighting and a 50%-credit-majority borderline rule are by far the most common defaults across these 10 universities, so that's what this calculator uses out of the box. But the boundary zone width genuinely varies - 1% at UCL, 1.5% at Birmingham and Sheffield, 2% at Manchester, Bristol, Southampton and King's - and Manchester specifically requires 2/3 of credits (not just 50%) for an uplift. Use Advanced options to match your own university's rule, and treat this as a close estimate rather than an official result. Oxford and Cambridge aren't included above as they use a different exam-board classing system entirely, not a weighted percentage average.
