How to use the QUB CGPA calculator

Below is a visual guide for the QUB calculator. It shows exactly where to type course data, how grades map through UK Degree Classification (Honours), and how your running result appears — no spreadsheet required.

QUB 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 — QUB degrees are classified (First, 2:1, 2:2).

  2. 2

    Add each module with credits

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

Semester GPA: 3.65 / 4.00

Your data never leaves your device. The tool runs locally in JavaScript — ideal for quick checks on a public campus network without sharing personal results online.

How to use this calculator

  1. Open Semester GPA when you are working with one term only; choose CGPA (or weighted average) when several semesters are finished.
  2. Add each module marks with the credit units shown on your QUB portal or registration slip.
  3. Select the letter or points from the dropdown — we already mapped them to the Class scale.
  4. Read the live result on the right. Toggle percentage mode only if your department published a conversion rule.

QUB grading system

UK Degree Classification (Honours) is what QUB 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 QUB?
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 QUB publishes — not a US-style 4.0 chart pulled from Google.
Can I convert QUB 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 QUB 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 QUB 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 Queen's University Belfast, use the contact form with a link to the official handbook — we fix scales in batches.
