Grading of awards

The cut-off points for grading are fixed and common across all undergraduate degrees as follows.

Students who have completed the required subjects and credit points determined for each award qualify to graduate at pass level.

Qualification for graded awards is based on the weighted average mark calculated for all graded subjects completed, including electives. Ungraded pass/fail subjects, including electives taken while on exchange and exemptions granted as recognised prior learning, will not be included in the calculation. All failures will be included in the calculation. For a degree with Distinction, the weighted average mark must be greater than or equal to 75. For a degree with Credit, the weighted average mark must be greater than or equal to 65 and less than 75.
