About the UCL CGPA Calculator
Major London Russell Group university on the UK percentage-to-classification system.
University College London (UCL) is one of London's largest Russell Group universities, awarding UK honours degrees classified as First, 2:1, 2:2, or Third from weighted module averages. UCL's diverse faculties — from laws and arts to engineering and medicine — share broad classification boundaries but differ in assessment structure. This calculator maps your percentage marks to UK class bands rather than inventing a CGPA. Wrong scale? Tell us — or browse more United Kingdom calculators.
What UCL students should know
UCL modules carry credit values under the European Credit Transfer System for many programmes. Coursework, exams, and dissertations combine into module marks that roll up to year and final averages. Students on exchange or dual-degree tracks should use marks as recorded on UCL transcripts, not grades from partner universities converted informally.
How to use this calculator
- Export module marks and credits from UCL's Portico student system.
- Calculate credit-weighted averages for each year, then apply final-degree weightings from your programme handbook.
- Compare totals to UK classification thresholds shown in this calculator.
- Order official UCL transcripts from the registry for employer or graduate-school verification.
UCL grading system
UCL applies UK honours classification: First (70%+), 2:1 (60–69%), 2:2 (50–59%), Third (40–49%), Fail (below 40%). Some programmes use pass/fail modules that do not enter the classification average — exclude them unless your handbook says otherwise.
The math behind semester GPA and cumulative CGPA is the same across most universities — see our CGPA formula guide for a worked example. For broader planning tips, read the complete CGPA guide on the homepage or browse student articles on the blog.
Percentage conversion
UCL degree certificates state classification, not CGPA. Percentage averages appear on transcripts but UK employers ask for class (e.g., "2:1") rather than a multiplied CGPA figure.
