Results, grading and progression

  • Results and Grading

All results and grades are published on MyUniHub on the date listed in your academic calendar.

Please note: grades are provisional until your student profile (ie your modules and grades) has been considered at a Programme Assessment Board. You can find out when your programme is due to be considered by referring to your programme handbook.

The University also relays your current status to the local education authorities, where applicable.

Grading scales

The University has a 1-20 grading scale, with grade 1 being the highest grade.  Level 1 modules, which do not contribute to the final classification may be awarded a Y grade (ungraded pass).

  • Understanding your progression decision

Every year the Programme Assessment Boards (PABs) meet to decide whether you have passed sufficient credits to continue on your chosen programme of study. This progression decision (also known as ‘Academic Standing’ on MyUniHub>My Modules and Grades) is entered as a progression code on your student record.

Below is the full list of progression codes and definitions to help you understand what they mean and if you need to take any action.
