Does each university have their own criteria for what is required for a 2:1 or first class etc? or is it universal? - meaning someone achieving 2:1 at one university would have been graded the same if their work had been marked by another university.
According to Uniststats, my firm choice for adult nursing states that on average 22.77% of students achieve a first class, but for another university 48.48% achieve a first class.
I imagine this is down to quality of teaching, resources & facilities but also down to the kind of students the university gave their offers to. This piqued my interest into whether or not the grading system is different uni to uni.
Thanks.
