Thank you Ann. I'm sure that NARIC and British Council can help me with an informal or formal answer. But, I wanted an answer from someone with experience in the field. Actual and former students.

Well, since I got a 13(65%) in the University of Coimbra (too much parties there ), one of the best Portuguese Universities in general and in the subject, have more than 10 years of teaching at a Higher Education institution (Polytechnic Institute), and a Master near coming, I suppose I am a good candidate. Nevertheless, I will follow the advice from belfry.

What are your Universities belfry and paulasbrito?

Thank you for your answers. Great help.

Thanks for the reply, but I don't see any answer close to my question

I suppose that the UK grades have some close relation to a percentage scale, which corresponds to the percentage of right answers to an exam. Doesn't it?

Hello!

I'm 37 years old and considering to study for a PhD in Mechanical Engineering. I have a "Licenciatura" (a Portuguese degree of 5 years, which I think is similar to the UK MEng degree) in Mechanical Engineering.

But first, I need to know if my grades are enough.
What are the equivalence in terms of a percentage scale from 0 to 100% of the British grades:
- First-Class Honours (First or 1st)
- Upper Second-Class Honours (2:1)
- Lower Second-Class Honours (2:2)

Can anyone help me?

Best Regards
