  1. 1

    Choose Semester GPA or CGPA

    Open the Semester GPA tab for one term's modules, or CGPA to combine multiple terms. Percentage mode is for rough planning only — Edinburgh degrees are classified (First, 2:1, 2:2).

  2. 2

    Add each module with credits

    Click "+ Add Course" and enter module titles from your Edinburgh transcript. Use CATS/credit weight exactly as listed — weighted averages depend on credit volume, not module count alone.

  3. 3

    Select your classification band

    Pick the letter or class band shown on your result slip. The calculator maps UK honours boundaries to points for averaging — verify against your department handbook.

  4. 4

    Review your weighted result

    The bottom bar shows your semester or cumulative figure. Use it to track progress toward a First or 2:1 — official classification is confirmed on your degree transcript.

About the Edinburgh CGPA Calculator

Scotland's ancient university using UK-wide honours class standards for undergraduate degrees.

University of Edinburgh — Scotland's ancient research university — classifies honours degrees using UK-wide bands: First, 2:1, 2:2, and Third. Scottish degree structures often run four years for honours, with different year weightings than English three-year programmes. This calculator helps Edinburgh students translate credit-weighted percentage averages into classification estimates. Wrong scale? Tell us — or browse more United Kingdom calculators.

What Edinburgh students should know

Edinburgh's semester system uses SCQF credit points — typically 20 credits per standard module. Honours years (Years 3 and 4) usually dominate final classification. Students in informatics, medicine, or MA humanities should read school-specific examination regulations because dissertation weightings vary widely.

How to use this calculator

  1. Collect module marks and SCQF credits from Edinburgh's EUCLID student system.
  2. Apply year weightings from your degree programme table — honours years typically outweigh pre-honours.
  3. Compare your weighted average to UK class boundaries loaded here.
  4. For US or Commonwealth applications, order official Edinburgh transcripts with stated degree class.

Edinburgh grading system

Edinburgh applies UK honours classification: First (70%+), 2:1 (60–69%), 2:2 (50–59%), Third (40–49%), Fail (below 40%). Scottish General degrees (non-honours) follow different exit qualifications — this page focuses on honours classification math.

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

Edinburgh degree transcripts state classification. Scottish and English UK universities share the same percentage bands for class — there is no separate "Scottish CGPA" multiplier.
