Unlike China's 60-point pass, the passing line of British university scores is a completely different system:
Pass the British undergraduate course) Line 60: 40, degree grade: third class (40-50), 50-60, degree grade: second class, or write 2: 260-70, degree grade: second class, or write 2: 170 or above, and degree grade: first class.
First class (first class)
It is usually the highest level awarded by a British university. About 1 1% of British graduates can graduate with first-class results. Different universities, different courses, the proportion of students who get the first grade is also very different. For example, few students can achieve first-class results in law, physics or engineering.
The first grade is more than 70% by percentage. Although the theoretical maximum score is 100%, generally speaking, the score of British universities rarely exceeds 80%. First-class is equivalent to American GPA3.8-4.0, and the average score of domestic key universities is above 85.
Second year of high school
The second grade of British universities can be written as 2: 1, which is the second highest grade after the first grade. 46% of British university graduates graduated with second-class results. Most employers in Britain require college graduates to achieve at least this score before being hired. The percentage of second-class and first-class grades is 60-69%, which is equivalent to the GPA of 3.3-3.79 in the United States, and the average undergraduate score of China University is above 75.
Second class (lower second class)
The second-class and second-class scores of British universities can be written as 2:2, second only to the second-class and first-class scores, with the second largest number of scores. About 29% of graduates from British universities get this score. Although this is also a second-class achievement, from the perspective of the employer, it is far from the second-class first-class achievement. Most employers require graduates to score above 2: 1. Second-class and second-class grades are equivalent to 50-59%, equivalent to 3.0-3.29 GPA in the United States, and the average undergraduate score of China University is above 70.
Third class (third class)
The third-class scores of British universities are equivalent to 40-49%, while the average scores of China universities are between 60-70.
Ordinary degree.
The average score of British universities is equivalent to passing, and students can barely get a degree certificate, which translates into 40%, which is equivalent to passing 60 points in China University.
Importance of degree grading
In the eyes of the British, high school and university education is to prepare for future work. Postgraduate education is to pave the way for doctoral or further study. British universities attach importance to the degree level, which can be reflected in the graduation certificate. Usually the diploma will indicate what degree the student has obtained. In order to get a good degree, students need to take every paper and every exam seriously.
British University Degree Grade VS China University Average.
First Honorary Degree: China 2 1 1 Key University, with an average undergraduate score of over 85, not 21/Key University, with an average undergraduate score of over 890.
2. 1 or Grade II education: domestic undergraduate education, with an average score of 78-80.
2.2 or lower-second-class degree: the average score of domestic ordinary universities is above 70.
Third-class degree: Compared with domestic undergraduate grades, the third-class degree in British universities is equivalent to failure. Generally, no school can accept this degree to study for a master's degree. You can only consider studying in other universities for the second year of undergraduate or one year of master's preparatory course.
