to get a first, i think you need over 70-80% on every exam you take (from year 2 onwards i think)

Is it possible to find out for individual course at a university, or is this something they rarely tell ?

it should change according to the year's curve, and varies quite a bit from uni to uni.

So it's standardised then rather than based on your individual performance?

For most courses at most places, the standardised marks are simply
70% - 1st
60% - 2:1
50% - 2:2
40% - 3rd
30% - "Unclassified pass"
Not the case for Medicine etc where it can hit 80% to pass some papers in 1st year.
This is good criteria, even if it's referring to Nursing:

Don't you also need a certain number of "alphas" to get a first as well as average of 70+%?

You get an alpha is your assessment is worth over 80%, so to get a first an average of 70% is not usually sufficient because you will also need a certain number of alphas.

The grade boundaries vary according to both subject *and* uni (although some uni's are more standardised than others) information is usually available on a uni's website. Some courses allow you to discount your lowest and/or highest grade and take the average of the middle graded modules, others don't...only way to know for sure is to ask the universities involved.

70%+ = 1st
60%+ = 2:1
although to get a first class degree, you need to have had a certain number of 1st class module/assessment marks, aswell as 70%+ average.
