The British undergraduate degree classification system is a grading scheme for undergraduate degrees (bachelor's degrees and integrated master's degrees) in the United Kingdom. The system has been applied (sometimes with significant variations) in other countries, such as Australia, Bangladesh, Barbados, Canada, Hong Kong, India, Ireland, Jamaica, Kenya, Malaysia, Malta, Mauritius, Nepal, New Zealand, Nigeria, Pakistan, Singapore, Sri Lanka, South Africa and Trinidad and Tobago.[citation needed]
The Latin honors system used in the United States is different but has some similarities.
A degree may be awarded with or without honours, with the class of an honours degree based on the average mark of the assessed work a candidate has completed. Below is a list of the possible classifications with common abbreviations. Honours degrees are in bold.
At most institutions the system allows a small amount of discretion and candidates may be elevated to the next degree class if their average mark is close to, or the median of their weighted marks achieves the higher class and they have submitted many pieces of work worthy of the higher class. However they may be demoted a class if they fail to pass all parts of the course even if they have a high average.
22, plus 30, was the first time that i saw the truth
22, minus a week or so, was the first time that i knew
That i'd never be the same
That i'd only cry on name
Ever again
For any reason
Dearest, best friend
I am yours for now and every season
I'm holding your face in my hands,
'cause the following is sincere;
You are my future plans
So allow me one more half-year
If you're not here tomorrow
I wont be anywhere at all
If your hand is there to borrow
