Hi, I'm a year 2 student and have some genuine doubts on degree classification. Maybe some of you guys can explain to me?
These are my grades thus far:
1st year:
Intro to Econs - 70
Math 1 - 77
Stats 1 - 77
Intro to Political Science - 67
Intro to Political Thought- 63
2nd year:
Macroeconomics- 75
Microeconomics- 80
Comparative Politics - 55
Democracy and Democratisation - 59
I know i already secured 2 As this year and I will get to use both of them. But i am unsure if how many As i can take from the first year?
How many more As must i achieve to get a first class honours degree?
Thanks in advance.
Hey there!
Basically to get an overall first class honours degree u need to have either 5As or 4As with an overall score of 590.
Your Y1 results are calculated as follows:
[70 + (77+77)/2 + 67] / 3 = 71 (1st Module)
It is the average of the best 3 modules which for u is Intro to Econs, (Stats 1 + Math 1), and Intro to Pol Science
Your results for Y2 mods are taken as they are, this means u essentially have 3 As so far: Your Y1 average (1st Module), Macroecons (2nd Module), Microecons (3rd Module).
Therefore, for your final year, if you can get 2 more As or 1 more A but have an overall score of 590, you’ll secure your FCH.
Hope this helps!
