What changes the calculation
Universities decide which years count, how modules are credit-weighted, how resits are capped and how borderline cases are treated. Two students with the same simple mean can therefore receive different official outcomes.
Use the right calculator
Use the degree classification calculator with your published year weights, then compare the estimate with your programme regulations.
