MBA Graduating classification (Distinction, Merit, Pass)


Diogenes

Can someone please enlighten me on the MBA's graduating classification and ways it is determined by the Universities in the UK? For example, if I have grades in the 60s range in four of the 8 modules and 70s in the other four modules (including the dissertation or business plan). What will be my MBA's graduating classification? With distinction? With Merit? Thank you!

There is no single policy on this. Not all universities award merits, which are generally for marks over 60%, but most have distinctions for students with an average of 70% across the elements, weighted by the number of credits for the element. If you had 60% for four courses and 75% for four then your average would be 67.5, so that would not be a distinction at most universities.
