Conversion of grades

B

Hey you guys! I just wanted you to explain me how do I know if I have a 2.2 or 2.1...or what-so-ever!I'm from Portugal and my final grade is 15 (out of 20)! I'm looking for a Master in the UK...and everyone asks for that, but I don't know if I have it or not!

Can someone help me?thanks in advance!

It's not a 2.2, that's for sure. 75% is either a 2.1 or a 1st, depending on the university, I think.

Hi there! when I applied to the Uni here in the U.K, they took care of the matter. I know that they have a convention with an institution called NARIC, which evaluate degrees/marks etc. and can tell you to what it corresponds in the U.K. You can also apply to it individually. You find details at :http://www.naric.org.uk/
It is essential that you get that, because even within the same country different universities have different marking scales.
Hope it's useful.

Different countries have different grade boundaries.

A first (70%) = A, 2:1 = B (60%) and 2:2 (50%) = C in the UK. So whatever grade your mark corresponds to can be compared to the UK system.

That is whatever grade you mark corresponds according to the Portuguese system.
