Understand how UK assignments are marked
UK universities mark on a percentage scale linked to degree classifications. Knowing what each band rewards is the fastest way to improve your grade.
| Mark | Classification | What markers usually look for |
|---|---|---|
| 70%+ | First | Original, critical argument; wide reading; excellent structure |
| 60–69% | 2:1 (Upper second) | Clear analysis, good use of sources, well-organised |
| 50–59% | 2:2 (Lower second) | Mostly descriptive, limited critical evaluation |
| 40–49% | Third | Answers the question only in part, weak structure or referencing |
Most students move up a band by doing one thing better: replacing description with critical analysis. That is exactly what our tutors coach you on, using your own module rubric.
