What is the undergraduate degree grading system in British universities?

British university degrees are graded according to students' grades! The first four degrees are honorary bachelor degrees! Because the evaluation contents and grading standards of British universities are quite different from those of domestic universities, there is no fixed conversion law between degrees at all levels and students' grades in China. In China, undergraduate grades are equivalent to failing. Generally speaking, no school can accept this degree as a master degree. You can only consider going to other universities to study in the second year of undergraduate or one-year preparatory course for master.

British University Degree Classification The undergraduate education system in England is three years, while in Scotland it is four years. Take the undergraduate degree in Britain as an example. In fact, the results of the first year of undergraduate studies in British universities are not included in the degree calculation. The scores of sophomores and juniors are the most important, each accounting for 50% of the final degree (full score 100, 40 points passing).

China students should not think that they just need to graduate from college. In fact, in the eyes of the British, high school and university education are all about preparing for future work. Postgraduate education paves the way for doctoral or further study. The importance attached by British universities to the degree level can be reflected in the graduation certificate, which usually indicates the degree level of students. In order to get a good degree, students need to take every paper and every exam seriously.

British undergraduate degrees can be divided into first-class degrees, second-class first-class degrees and second-class second-class degrees. Because there is no such division in domestic undergraduate graduation, domestic students usually submit transcripts, average scores or calculate grade points when applying.

Although the scores of the two countries are different, there is still a one-to-one score:

A first-class degree in Britain is equivalent to more than 85 points in domestic key universities or more than 90 points in ordinary universities;

The second-class degree in Britain is equivalent to 75-84 points in domestic key universities or 80-90 points in ordinary universities;

A second-class degree in Britain is equivalent to an average score of more than 70 points in key universities in China;

The final grade is the third grade, which is the passing score of 60-69 in China.

British universities also have scores, but the concept of scores is different from that of China. Generally speaking, a score of 70 or above is a good grade, and a first-class honorary degree will be awarded if the average score is 70 or above in three years. For example, Dawson, a famous British actor, won a first-class honorary degree from Cambridge University.

That's all about the grading system of undergraduate degrees in British universities. I hope it helps you!
