How does Swansea University grade classification work?

Swansea uses a weighted band system where your highest-performing modules get higher weights. Level 7 modules get 4x weight, Level 6 get 3x, Level 5 get 2x, and remaining modules get 1x weight. Classifications range from First Class (70%+) to Pass Degree (35-39.99%).

What are borderline upgrades at Swansea?

If you're within 2% of a classification boundary, you may be upgraded through Preponderance (if enough credits are at the higher band) or Exit Velocity (if your final year average meets the boundary).

What's this?

This unofficial calculator helps Swansea University students estimate their degree classification based on the university's specific banding and weighting system.

How it works:

Your modules are allocated to weighted bands based on level and performance
Band weights: Level 7 (Band 4) = 4x, Level 6 (Band 3) = 3x, Level 5 (Band 2) = 2x, remaining (Band 1) = 1x
Borderline cases (within 2%) may be upgraded via Preponderance or Exit Velocity rules

Classification bands:

First Class: 70% and above
Upper Second (2:1): 60-69.99%
Lower Second (2:2): 50-59.99%
Third Class: 40-49.99%
Pass Degree: 35-39.99%
