8. Degree classification
8.1
Further units normally carry more weight than Foundation units. Marks for Further units are counted individually and in some cases as an average, depending on the number of Foundation units taken and the number of exemptions granted. Foundation units count for up to two marks only.
8.2
A student who is eligible for the award of a degree through the Standard Route having attempted 12 full units and passed in at least 10 full units or the equivalent will be classified according to the classification scheme (given in 8.4 below) on the basis of nine marks, and, where appropriate, the aggregate of those nine marks.
8.3
The nine marks on which the classification is based are drawn from the following.
i. The marks for all Further units considered individually.
ii. If eight Further units and four Foundation units have been attempted, the ninth mark is the average of the best three Foundation units (see also v).
iii. If seven Further units and five Foundation units have been attempted, the eighth mark is the average of the best two Foundation units, and the ninth mark is the average of the next best two Foundation units (see also vi.).
iv. If six Further units and six Foundation units have been attempted, the seventh mark is the average of the best three Foundation units, the eighth mark is the average of the next best two Foundation units, and the ninth mark is the average of all six Further units (see also vii.).
v. Where a student is exempt from one or more Foundation units and has taken Foundation units to bring their total of exemptions and Foundation units to four then:
(a) given one exemption, the ninth mark is calculated in the usual way (see ii.)
(b) given two exemptions, the ninth mark is the average of the two Foundation units taken
(c) given three exemptions, the ninth mark is the Foundation unit taken
(d) given four exemptions, the ninth mark is the average of all the Further units taken.
vi. Where a student is exempt from one or more Foundation units and has taken Foundation units to bring their total of exemptions and Foundation units to five then:
(a) given one exemption, the eighth mark is the average of the best two Foundation units and the ninth mark is the average of the remaining two Foundation units
(b) given two exemptions, the eighth mark is the average of the best two Foundation units taken, and the ninth mark is the remaining Foundation unit taken
(c) given three exemptions, both the eighth and ninth marks are the marks of the two Foundation units taken
(d) given four exemptions, the eighth mark is the mark of the single Foundation unit taken and the ninth mark is the average of all the Further units taken.
vii. Where a student is exempt from one or more Foundation units and has taken Foundation units to bring their total of exemptions and Foundation units to six then:
(a) given one exemption, the seventh mark is the average of the best three Foundation units taken, the eighth mark the average of the next best two Foundation units taken, and the ninth mark is the average of all the Further units taken
(b) given two exemptions, the seventh mark is the average of the best two Foundation units taken, the eighth mark the average of the next best two Foundation units taken and the ninth the average of all the Further units taken
(c) given three exemptions, the seventh mark is the average of the best two Foundation units taken, the eighth mark the remaining Foundation unit taken and the ninth the average of all Further units taken
(d) given four exemptions, both the seventh and eighth marks are the marks of the two Foundation units taken, and the ninth mark is the average of all the Further units taken.

Additionally, when you received your results, there is an option where you can request of recounting of marks. Note. RECOUNTING. NOT RE-MARK. You have to pay 50pounds for the appeal. Appeal only if you are just borderline fail or borderline to the next grade e.g. 33, 1 more mark to passing. Otherwise it is pretty "no use". Or unless you have spare cash and you are simply, risk lover.

Any questions? Just leave a comment la. haha

  3. Hope you have gotten your first class honors. I heard that you would get a scholarship to LSE for achieving first class honors, wonder if that is true.
    I am enrolling into SIM-UOL accountancy soon and hoping to get first class honors too. Could I seek some advice from you on getting first class honors (how you did it, etc)? My email is derrviel@gmail.com. I would be over the joy if you could!
    Wish you luck on getting a good job and achieving more dreams.
    Derrick.
