LSE calculator preview — your grades use UK Degree Classification (Honours). Results update live in the tool above.
  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 — LSE degrees are classified (First, 2:1, 2:2).

  2. 2

    Add each module with credits

    Click "+ Add Course" and enter module titles from your LSE 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.

  2. Add each module marks with the credit units shown on your LSE portal or registration slip.

  4. Read the live result on the right. Toggle percentage mode only if your department published a conversion rule.

LSE grading system

UK Degree Classification (Honours) is what LSE prints on most transcripts. The top band is First Class (1st) (4.00 points). A fail (Fail) usually counts as zero quality points until you pass the retake.

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.

Percentage conversion

Honours degrees are reported as a class (First, 2:1, 2:2, Third), not as a single “CGPA percentage”. Focus on weighted module averages here.

Frequently asked questions

How do I work out my degree classification at LSE?
UK undergraduate degrees usually combine weighted module marks into an overall percentage, then map that to a class (First, 2:1, and so on). This page loads UK Degree Classification (Honours) so your grade points match the bands LSE publishes — not a US-style 4.0 chart pulled from Google.
Can I convert LSE grades to US GPA here?
Only as a rough planning exercise. UK honours classes do not convert cleanly to a 4.0 GPA without an official credential evaluation. Use this tool to sanity-check module averages and classification thresholds on your handbook scale.
What is the highest grade point on the LSE scale?
On UK Degree Classification (Honours), the ceiling is 4.00 quality points (First Class (1st)). Hitting that across every credit is rare — one failed lab can pull the average down until you clear it.
Is this LSE degree calculator free?
Yes. No account, no app install, and we do not upload your grades. Close the tab and the data is gone.
Who maintains this page?
My CGPA Calculator is run by students and alumni who got tired of generic CGPA widgets that ignore local scales. If you spot a wrong boundary for London School of Economics and Political Science, use the contact form with a link to the official handbook — we fix scales in batches.
