Honours - UniHub

How can I check that I have been awarded the correct
Honours degree classification?
If you have a list of all the modules you have taken, together with the number of credits they are
worth and the grades attained, you can see how your Honours degree classification is
considered:
Have you passed enough credit?
From your list of modules, add up how much credit you have passed at each Level.
Include any compensated modules and modules graded Y.
Enter this in Column 1.
Repeat the same information in Column 2, omitting Level 4 modules.
Repeat the same information in Column 3, omitting Level 4 and Level 5 modules.

required:
You need at least 360 in
Level 4 or above
You need at least 210 in
Level 5 or above
You need at least 120 in
Level 6 or above
Overall, you need to have passed at least 360 credits for an Honours degree.
If you have not met these requirements, it is unlikely that you would have been awarded an
Honours degree
For Profile 1: All modules passed at Level 6 or above:
From your list of modules, fill in this chart, putting the number of graded (ie, numerical) credits
you have gained at Level 6 or above in the relevant grid boxes (A1 to G4). Include
compensated modules – these are equivalent to grade 16.
Profile 1: Level 6 grades only:
A B C D E F G H I
Grades: total %
a 1,2,3,4
b 5,6,7,8
c 9,10,11,12
d 13,14,15,16
e Total
1. Add up the total for each row and enter it in column H.
2. Add up the total in column H and enter it in gridbox He.

3. Work out the credit as a percentage:
a. Divide the total in Ha by the total in He.
b. Multiply this by 100. This is the percentage. Enter it in Ia.
• Eg, if you have a total of 60 credits in grades 1,2,3,4 and a total of 220
credits passed at Level 6, divide 60 by 220 (= 0.27), multiply by 100 (=
27), enter 27% in the gridbox Ia
4. Do the same for each row.
5. If you have worked out the percentages correctly, column I should add up to within 2
decimal points of 100%.
For Profile 2: All modules passed at Level 5 and 6 or above:
6. First enter the totals from column H of Profile 1 into column J of Profile 2.
7. Fill in the chart, putting the number of credits you have gained at Level 5 and 6 in the
relevant grid boxes (Kf to Pi):
Profile 2: Level 5, 6 and 7 grades only:
J K L M N O P Q R
Grades: Level

f 1,2,3,4
g 5,6,7,8
h 9,10,11,12

j Total
8. Add up the total for each row, including the Level 6 & 7 modules in column J, and enter in
column Q.
9. Add up the total in column Q and enter it in gridbox Qj.
10. Work out the credit as a percentage:
a. Divide the total in Qf by the total in Qj.
b. Multiply this by 100. This is the percentage. Enter it in Rf.
11. Do the same for each row.
12. If you have worked out the percentages correctly, column R should add up to within 2
decimal points of 100%.

What is ‘Academic Judgement’?
The Assessment Board has used its academic judgement to decide which classification to
award you. This is based on the following considerations:
• Level 6 work or work completed in the final stage of the programme;
• The grade achieved for the final dissertation/project module/s;

• Relevant extenuating circumstances submitted to the Assessment Board before the deadline;
• The need to be consistent in its policy in the interpretation of classification for all students in
the cohort.
