Classification Calculator

Our Classification Calculators are downloadable Excel spreadsheets that you can use to estimate your final degree classification.

There are different calculators depending upon your award and when you started your programme of study.
The calculators will generate your average mark per year and your final estimated overall average. Please note, the Classification Calculators are for guidance only. There is no guarantee that the classification you will calculate by this method is the one which will be finally awarded. All marks and classifications must be confirmed by the Progression and Awards Board on behalf of Senate before they become final.

Selecting the correct Calculator 

To select the right of calculator for your award, please follow the below guidance (note the further guidance section):  

If you started your current programme at Leeds before the 2022/23 academic year, OR began your final year before the 2024/25 academic year use Set 1.  

Set 1 calculators

Versions of the calculator

There are five versions of the classification calculator; choose the one that corresponds to your award title:

Note: for Integrated Master and Master (first degree) which calculator you need to use will depend on whether your programme of study is classified over penultimate and final years only (Calculator 1), or Years 2, 3 and 4 (Calculator 2). For Integrated Master degrees with a study abroad variant, which is not included in the classification average, Calculator 1 may be appropriate. Please check with your parent school first.

 If you started your current programme at Leeds during or after the 2022/23 academic year AND began your final year during or after the 2024/25 academic year use Set 2.

  • For Intercalating students, on a 1-year intercalating programme, please use Set 2 if you are taking this intercalating programme during or after the 2024/25 academic year. 
  • For students who have had a period of temporary leave from their studies, please use the academic year in which you first started your programme to determine which set of calculators you should be using, even if it was several years ago. 
  • For students who have changed from studying full-time to part-time, please use the academic year in which you first started your programme to determine which set of calculators to use, not when you changed to studying part-time.  
  • For students who started a programme at Leeds, and then transferred to study a different programme, use the academic year you started your original programme as your ‘start’ date.   
  • For students who have transferred to the University of Leeds from a different institution, use the academic year in which you started at Leeds, not when you started studying your programme elsewhere.
