About University of Leeds Grading
The University of Leeds is a Russell Group research university and one of the largest in the UK, with over 38,000 students. Founded in 1904, it is consistently ranked among the top 100 universities globally. Leeds offers a broad range of undergraduate programmes across arts, sciences, engineering, business, and health.
Leeds uses the FHEQ credit framework with 120 credits per year. Module sizes are commonly 10 or 20 credits, with dissertations and capstone projects typically worth 30 or 40 credits. The university applies the standard UK classification boundaries.
For degree classification, Leeds typically uses a 33/67 year weighting (Level 5 at 33%, Level 6 at 67%), though some schools and programmes may use a 25/75 split. Year 1 marks do not count towards the final classification. Always check your specific school's regulations.
Leeds operates a dual algorithm for borderline classification cases. The university calculates your classification using two methods and awards the higher result. This provides a fair system for students who perform differently across their qualifying years.
Many Leeds programmes offer a Year in Industry or Year Abroad option. These are typically assessed as pass/fail or with a separate transcript notation and do not contribute graded marks to your degree classification calculation.

University of Leeds uses a 33/67 (some programmes use 25/75) year weighting for most programmes. This means Year 2 (Level 5) contributes 33% and Year 3 (Level 6) contributes 67% to your final degree average.

When to Use This Leeds Grade Calculator
Use this Leeds grade calculator, also described as a University of Leeds grade calculator, when you have module percentages and credit values and want a clear, provisional view of your current average. It is most useful after a set of results has been released, before choosing how to prioritise remaining assessments, or when you are checking a target for your final year. Your university's exam board and academic regulations remain the source of your official classification.
Start by calculating each module from its coursework, practical and exam components if needed. Then add the module result here with its credit value. If you are still waiting for results, use the target option to model a range of marks rather than relying on a single prediction. This gives Leeds students a practical route from individual assessment marks to an overall degree-classification estimate.
