QCA?

Mcjmetroid

I've been hearing about these 2.1 and 2.2 for a while. Never really understood them.

Just wondering though what's the lowest QCA one has to get a second class honours?

I found some marks and standards but it's from 1998. It's been 12 years has anything changed? Can someone explain the system to me?

Thanks for the help

2:1= 62%-69%
2:2= 55%-61%
Hope this helps

Thanks for thats not quite what I meant. It's tough to explain this actually

This is from an old post from 2003 on boards

A1 = 4.0
A2 = 3.6
B1 = 3.2
B2 = 3.0
B3 = 2.8
C1 = 2.6
C2 = 2.4
C3 = 2.0
D1 = 1.6
D2 = 1.2

I just mean has this changed? Does a second class honours still require a 2.8 minimum?

I can't seem to find a ul page on the matter.

Ask your course director for a definitive answer.

Broadly speaking;

>3.4 = 1.1

>3.0 = 2.1

>2.7 = 2.2

Though there is usually a discretionary band of 0.1 for most courses meaning 2.9 would get you a 2.1

Again, the only way you'll get a definite answer on this is by emailing your course director.

OK thanks for your help

Hi Mcjmetroid, as a UL graduate I can tell you that in order to get a 2.2 honours degree you need a QCA of 2.6 - 2.9; 3.0 - 3.4 gets you a 2.1 honours degree and first class honours is only received on a QCA greater than 3.4. Hope this helps.
