This calculator can be used to generate weighted grades for a master's degree consisting of credit based modules.
Note: Universities have differing classification and rounding policies, including:
While these calculators cannot handle those specific scenarios, they will give you a good idea of your current grades, and help you to set targets.
Your university will have more details about the specific criteria. These are usually available online.
First, it sums the total credits provided, and turns the individual credits into percentages of the total credits supplied.
The weighted grades are then summed to generate an overall weighted grade.
We have two modules for a degree:
| Name | Grade | Credits |
|---|---|---|
| Module A | 66% | 40 |
| Module B | 97% | 25 |
To complete this, we would first work out the sum of the credits provided:
40 + 25 = 65 total credits
We then multiply the credit by 100, and divide by the total credits:
(40 * 100) / 65 = 61.54 weighted credit
we then multiply the grade by the weighted credit, and divide by 100 for the result:
(66 * 61.54) / 100 = 40.62% weighted grade
We'd then complete the same process for the other module
For incomplete modules, input the grades you've achieved so far, and it will calculate the average based on this, ignoring the incomplete portion.
By doing this, you can also play around with predictions for the unachieved grade and see what grade you might end up with.
This also allows you to create a target for the unachieved grade.
If you want to factor in your unachieved grades, input the credits with a grade of zero.
