BA and BSc Programmes
BA and BSc students are awarded either a First Class Honours (1), an Upper Second Class Honours (2A), a Lower Second Class Honours (2B), a Third Class Honours (3) or a Pass degree depending on individual course results.
The classification is for three year programmes based on 18 classification marks for three year programmes, and 26 classification marks for four year programmes.
You can find full details of how your classification will be calculated in the relevant scheme of award:
For students starting in or after the 2021/22 academic year, LSE100 will count towards the First Year Average if it is one of the best six out of nine first year marks. For students who started before the 2021/22 academic year, the mark achieved in LSE100 is not a classification mark and is not used to calculate the First Year Average or award. Regardless of when you started, an unredeemed fail in LSE100 will not be considered for the purpose of applying any of the penalties at Paragraph 11 of the Classification Scheme.
LLB
LLB students are awarded either a First Class Honours (1), an Upper Second Class Honours (2A), a Lower Second Class Honours (2B), a Third Class Honours (3) or a Pass degree depending on individual course results.
The LLB classification is based on the marks achieved in all second and third year courses. You will also have an aggregate mark which is the sum of all eight 'classification marks'.

Taught Masters
Masters students are awarded a Distinction, Merit, or a Pass degree depending on individual course results.
How your classification is calculated depends on how many units you need to take to complete your programme. In addition to the relevant scheme of award, individual Sub-Boards of Examiners can also establish Local Rules where the specific course(s) and/or marks will be given special consideration in the awarding of the degree.
