Work out your credit-weighted average from each module mark and its credits, and see which UK degree classification band it falls in.

Add one module per row with its mark (%) and credits. You can add or remove rows at any time.
Marks are percentages (0–100). Real degree classification is usually year-weighted (e.g. 20:40:40), so treat this as an indicative average.
Weighted average: 65.00% · Total credits 60Tools for students. A credit-weighted average of your module marks, as used at UK universities. Everything runs instantly in your browser, no account, no data sent.
The credit-weighted average divides the sum of the mark × credits products by the total credits. Modules worth more credits count more toward the result.
For marks 72, 65, 58 with 20, 20, 20 credits: (72×20 + 65×20 + 58×20) = 3900, divided by 60 credits = 65.00% — an Upper second (2:1).
It is the average of your module marks weighted by the number of credits each module carries. A 40-credit module counts twice as much as a 20-credit one, so bigger modules move the average more.
A weighted average of 70% or more is a First (1st), 60–69% an Upper second (2:1), 50–59% a Lower second (2:2), 40–49% a Third (3rd), and below 40% a fail. Boundaries can vary slightly by university.
A full academic year is usually 120 credits, so a three-year Bachelor's degree is 360 credits. Under ECTS the same year is 60 credits (2 UK credits ≈ 1 ECTS).
No. Most universities weight later years more heavily — a common scheme is 0:40:60 or 20:40:40 across years 1–3. This tool gives an unweighted credit average; check your programme's rules for the year weighting.
A simple mean treats every module equally. The credit-weighted average accounts for module size, so a strong mark in a large module lifts your average more than the same mark in a small one.
At undergraduate level the pass mark for a module is normally 40%. Your overall classification depends on the credit-weighted average across the counting modules, not on any single result.
