UK universities publish their own assessment and classification regulations. Understand a mark alongside the module criteria and programme rules rather than relying on an international conversion table.
Distinguish marks and classifications
A module result and the classification of a complete qualification are different. Weighting, progression and borderline rules may vary. Use your programme regulations to understand the calculation.
Use feedback to plan improvements
Compare marker feedback with assessment criteria. Identify specific changes to evidence, reasoning or presentation and discuss unclear comments with the teaching team.
Before you use this information
Confirm which guidance applies to your programme and circumstances. Keep the date and source of important information, and ask the responsible institution to clarify uncertainty.
