Any potential for 1st Class Honours at Northumbria University?
Hi everyone, I'm wondering if anyone can help me understand how the degree classification works at Northumbria University. I've got an average score of 66% in Level 5 and I'm expecting around 68% in Level 6. Based on the rules, which are either the average mark of the best 200 graded credits (100 at Level 6 and 100 at Level 5) weighted at 60%:40% or the average mark of the best 100 credits in Level 6, I think I'll end up with an overall average of around 68%. Does anyone know if there's any chance my marks could be bumped up to a 1st class honours? TIA!!

Is it all the Level 6 marks or just the best 100 credits?
Have you read the section on Borderline Classification?

Yes all level 6 marks. Nope, I have not read on the borderline classification. Do you know where I can read it? Thanks for your kind reply!

It's in your degree regulations. I found a couple of versions but you need to check yours specifically in case there are any variations. For example, 2024-25:
