Question

What is the minimum percent you need to get a 2.1 degree in the UK?

Answer 1

60%-69% for a 2.1  

Answer 2

Your 2nd year is worth 40% and you 3rd year is worth 60%, so you can make up your marks if you are border line in your 2nd year.

Answer 3

Answer 4

I think it is usually 60%

Answer 5

Here is the university mark scale I was given at the start of my course.

70 to 100% = A First Class degree

60 to 69% = An upper second class (2.1) degree

50 to 59% = Lower second class (2.2) degree

40 to 49% = 3rd class degree

35 to 39% = A narrow fail (but compensation may be allowed in accordance with the University’s rules)

Less than 35 = Fail

Answer 6

Agreed, 60% minimum.

Answer 7

A 2.1 degree is an overall mark of between 60 and 69. It's determined using all marks from the last 2 years (of a standard 3 year course) at uni, though I don't know if the marks from the 2nd year hold as much sway as the 3rd year. I should probably find out really considering I'm about to start my 2nd year...
