University Year Average Calculator

Multiply each module mark by its credits, add the results, then divide by the credits. Credits are what a module is worth to the year, so a 40 credit module moves the average twice as far as a 20 credit one.

7,500 divided by 120 credits is 62.5%, which sits in the 2:1 band. Averaging the four marks instead gives 64%, 1.5 points higher, because a plain mean lets the 20 credit modules pull as hard as the 40 credit ones, and on a boundary that gap is a class. Where a module mark is itself built from coursework and an exam, the module mark calculator produces the figure that goes in the mark column.

Several schemes discard the weakest part of a year before averaging it. The University of Greenwich counts the best 90 of 120 Level 6 credits, so that same year comes out at 64% rather than 62.5%, with 30 credits dropped. University College London applies the same shape of rule to years 1 and 2 under Scheme A, keeping the best 90 credits in each.

Which credits drop depends on the marks, so the rule is applied after the marks are in rather than chosen in advance. Selecting your university and the year sets both the credit rule and the level it applies at, and every scheme is listed with the regulation it came from.

A year average is one input to a classification, not the classification itself. Universities weight the years differently, from the University of Greenwich at 10:90 across years 2 and 3 to University College London at 1:3:5 across all three, so the same 62.5% counts for a different share of the final mark at each one. The panel above the fold shows the share the year you selected carries, and the degree classification calculator takes every year at once and returns the class.

With one year still to sit, the average that year has to reach for the class you want is a fixed number, which is what the 2:1 target calculator works out.
