Degree Grades - An Explanation
Even though I've explained this before, it has been requested that I explain once more the grading system for English degrees. So here goes, from best to worst:- A 1st (First): the best grade, awarded for final marks of 70% and higher.
- A 2:1 (Upper Second): awarded for marks from 60% to 69% inclusive.
- A 2:2 (Lower Second): awarded for marks from 50% to 59% inclusive.
- A 3rd (Third): awarded for marks from 45% to 49% inclusive.
- A Pass: awarded for marks from 40% to 44% inclusive.
- A Fail: awarded for marks less than 40%.
So there you go. My marks were all in the 2:2 bracket this time, with 3 at the higher end and 1 towards the lower boundary. A solid 2:2 for my year's work...

Good straight forward answer.
Just what I wanted to know.
I am a pirate. YARGH :eyepatch:
A good and short explanation, just what I needed.
Any idea how a first should be written on a CV? e.g. BSc (Hons) First Computer Science
"English"??
