Calculate your weighted module average and see what result you’ll get, how much it can still change, and whether it affects your classification.
A UK weighted module average calculator calculates your final result by multiplying each module mark by its credit value, then combining those weighted scores into a single overall percentage. This shows exactly how different module sizes—such as 20, 30, or 40 credits—affect your final average and whether your current performance is enough for progression or a target classification. Use it to test how upcoming results, resits, or mark changes will shift your outcome before results are finalised. Use this page alongside the UK Degree Classification Calculator to understand how your calculated average converts into a final award.
Your average can still shift meaningfully if high-credit modules or final assessments remain, but late-stage results often have less flexibility. Small changes near classification boundaries can still alter your outcome. Check how much weighted credit is left before assuming your result is fixed.

Formula Used by This Calculator
Use the calculator formula with confirmed inputs to compute uk weighted module average calculator.
Formula: module_average = sum(mark_i * credits_i) / sum(credits_i)
Example: enter known scores and weights
Complete these steps in order to calculate a reliable weighted result.
Output: Two 20-credit modules scored at 60% and 70% produce a weighted average of 65%.
Output: A 40-credit dissertation at 72% and two 20-credit modules at 60% produce a weighted average of 66%.
Used in this scenario
Output: Marks of 58%, 64%, and 70% across 10, 20, and 30 credits produce a weighted average of about 66%.
Used in this scenario
Output: Raising a 20-credit module from 68% to 72% can move an average from 69.6% to about 70.3%.
Used in this scenario
Output: Raising a 10-credit module from 65% to 85% may move a 120-credit average by only about 1.7 points.
Used in this scenario
Output: A 20-credit failed module capped at 40% can hold the weighted average below a 2:1 even after passing.
Used in this scenario

Avoid these input and interpretation errors before acting on the result.
Interpret your result quickly, then validate assumptions before acting.
Use the UK Weighted Module Average Calculator when module marks carry different credit values and a simple mean would misstate your year or stage average.
Enter each module mark with its credit value, then compare the weighted result against the classification or progression boundary that matters for your programme.
This page is built around UK university workflows. It covers 20-credit modules, higher-credit dissertations, stage weighting, resits, and classification checks before you act on the number.
Compare international frameworks in the grading systems hub before final interpretation.
Use this model for UK mark structures where module credits and stage weighting determine your classification outlook. Enter module marks with credits, check stage weighting assumptions, then compare your computed average against classification thresholds used by your institution.

A UK weighted module average is calculated by multiplying each module mark by its credits, adding those weighted totals, and dividing by the total credits counted. A 40-credit dissertation therefore carries four times the influence of a 10-credit module. Use this result to judge whether a high-credit mark can change your classification position, or whether smaller modules only improve the average without crossing a boundary.

Credits decide how much influence each mark has. A 30-credit module affects the average more than a 10-credit module with the same score.

No. Divide by total credits, not module count, unless all modules have identical credit values.

Include only modules that count towards the year, stage, or award decision you are testing.
It can change the average, but the impact is usually limited unless you are very close to a boundary.
The portal may apply stage weighting, rounding, capped resits, exclusions, or programme-specific rules.
Resits may be capped or replaced depending on policy, so confirm whether the new mark counts fully before calculating.
Treat it as a boundary risk and test conservative and improvement scenarios before assuming the outcome is secure.
If final year has higher weighting, final-year module marks affect the award more than earlier-stage marks.
Use it to calculate the weighted average first, then compare that result with classification boundaries and local policy.
Rerun it after any new mark, corrected result, resit outcome, or confirmed credit-weighting change.
Compare your current average with one realistic improvement scenario and one conservative scenario, then focus on changes that affect the boundary.
