What percentage does each year of university contribute to my final degree?

The weightings for each year of our Undergraduate honours and integrated Master's courses are provided within our Regulations for our taught programmes.

For the 2026/27 academic year, these weightings are outlined in the “Classification of undergraduate honours degrees and integrated Master’s degrees” section of our A1: Regulations for taught programmes.

If you are an undergraduate student in your first year, the marks you achieve will not contribute to your final degree. However, you will need to achieve an overall pass in order to progress to your second year.

If you are a graduating student on a Bachelor Honours or Integrated Masters degree programme, and your award classification result falls within 2% of a degree classification boundary, you may, subject to Professional, Statutory or Regulatory Body (PSRB) requirements, be considered for a final classification borderline upgrade. In such cases, we will review your academic performance at your final level of study and consider eligibility. Students on a Medicine (Graduate Entry) BMBS or Veterinary Medicine course are excluded from this regulation (these programmes are not eligible) due to PSRB accreditations. More details are available in our A1: Regulations for taught programmes.

For BVMSci Veterinary Medicine and Science (FHEQ Level 4, 5, 6 and 7 modules) the pass mark is 50%. For the pass mark for the Medicine (Graduate Entry) BMBS, School of Medicine, please see Exceptions to A1. Regulations for taught programmes for the Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery (BMBS) Graduate Medicine programme document (PDF) for further details.
