    You're better off going to your exams office and asking them - they can change from place to place, even between different faculties.

    In our one a 1.1 is a gpa of 3.25 and over. B- is 2.75, B is 3.00, a B+ is 3.50 and an A is 4. So any combination of them that gets you an average of 3.25 is a 1.1.
    A 2.1 is over 3.00 and a 2.2 is over 2.7 gpa.
    Hope that helps.

    Don't use them in UCC either though I've often wondered how to convert out % results to a US GPA.

    No GPA in DCU. Here the grades are:

    1:1 >= 70%
    2:1 >= 63%
    2:2 >= 55%
    3:1 >= 50% (only for certain courses)
    pass >= 40%

    I know this is not a DCU thread but one quick q Mr.Pink...

    D'you find that everybody in your course mostly gets mid 60 marks. My faculty's a bit reluctant to reward good work sometimes I think.

    Not the Computer Degrees/Masters. My MSc. is awarded by HETAC (Higher Education Training Awards Council). Same as the IT's around the country.

    There is an American College, maybe that's what you are thinking of?

    It also depends what course/faculty your in. For my own course to get a 2:1 you need 60%+ (they recently reduced it from 63%). And I'm certain of that, because without it, I wouldn't have gotten a 2:1 last year.
