Guide to UK Postgraduate University Grading System - Study in the UK | Cardiff Met International

Learn how the postgraduate grading system works at UK Universities. I'll talk you through what you need to achieve to obtain grades such as distinction and merit when studying your masters degree. And tell you what you need to do to pass your degree and avoid a fail.

In this video I'll talk you through the different degree classifications, and explain what you need to achieve to be awarded each grade. I'll explain the scores and averages you'll need, and tell you a little bit more about what each degree classification means.

This video is the latest in my series on Understanding UK Universities. I'm currently on a mission to help International Students better understand UK universities, to help when researching coming to study in the UK.

Make sure you subscribe to our channel to find out when we release new videos about Cardiff Met and study in the UK!

Thanks for watching, and hopefully we'll welcome you to Cardiff one day soon! – Jack

Hello,
How are the whole score i offer 5 modules and i have a B(60-69) in 3 of them and C(50-59) in two, then will scoring a borderline mark of say 48-49, 58-59, 68-69 give an advantage to the overall grade than scoring a lower mark.

Hey Jack, I have some queries regarding M.sc application for students applying from Germany. At present I am pursuing my vocational training in nursing which is equivalent to the three year nursing degree in UK. It is mandatory for us to attend 2 months of theoretical classes and 3 months of practical classes. After completion of my degree I will be receiving a state registered nursing license and will be able to work in the nursing or medical field. Later on, I want to pursue M.sc in biological biomolecular science, so on what basis will the university consider my application, if, I apply in Cardiff? Moreover, I am studying all the modules which are generally required for M.sc Biological science. Nursing is a part of biology and biological science, so is it possible that I could forward my application for M.sc in biological/biomolecular science after completing my nursing studies?
