iHow it is calculated
The overall average is the arithmetic mean of your subject or module averages:
For averages 72, 65, 80, 78, 68: (72 + 65 + 80 + 78 + 68) ÷ 5 = 363 ÷ 5 = 72.60 — a First on a plain-mean basis.
Work out your overall or graduation average from your subject or module averages — with an indicative classification band.

Add up all your subject or module averages and divide by the number of subjects. The result is your overall mean.
Roughly: 70%+ First, 60–69% Upper second (2:1), 50–59% Lower second (2:2), 40–49% Third, below 40% Fail.
No. A real UK degree class is weighted by module credits and usually by year (later years count more). This tool gives a plain-mean indication — use the ECTS/GPA calculator for a credit-weighted figure.
Yes, as long as your grades are on a consistent numeric scale. Convert letter grades to points or percentages first.
If so, use a weighted average or the credit-weighted calculator instead of a plain mean.
