About UCL's International Conversion Table
UCL (University College London), a Russell Group university, publishes the most detailed international grade conversion table of any UK university. It maps UK marks to US GPA, ECTS, Chinese GPA, German grades, Italian marks, Indian percentages, and Dutch/Spanish grades. This makes UCL the most transparent UK university for international GPA conversion.
UCL's Honours thresholds: First ≥ 69.5%, 2:1 ≥ 59.5%, 2:2 ≥ 49.5%, Third ≥ 40%. The 0.5% rounding at boundaries is slightly more generous than the standard 70% First. See our UK degree classification guide.
| Classification | UK % | US GPA | US Letter |
|---|---|---|---|
| First | 70–100% | 4.0 | A |
| 2:1 (Upper) | 65–69% | 3.7 | A− |
| 2:1 (Mid) | 60–64% | 3.3 | B+ |
| 2:2 (Upper) | 55–59% | 3.0 | B |
| 2:2 (Lower) | 50–54% | 2.7 | B− |
| Third | 46–49% | 2.0 | C+ |
| Third | 40–45% | 1.7 | C |
| Fail | Below 40% | 0.0 | F |

UCL's 2:1 = 3.3 GPA standard
UCL considers a US GPA of 3.3+ as equivalent to a 2:1 for graduate admissions. UCL's table further breaks this down: 2:1 at 65-69% maps to 3.7 GPA, while 2:1 at 60-64% maps to 3.3 GPA. This granularity is unique — most UK universities only state a single GPA floor. For Chinese GPA (4.0 scale), UCL maps First = 90%/3.7 and 2:1 = 80%/3.3.
For international applicants, UCL's conversion table is widely accepted by credential evaluation services (WES, ECE, Scholaro) and graduate admissions offices. If you're applying from a US university to UCL, a 3.3 GPA is the minimum threshold for most master's programs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does UCL use GPA?+
No. UCL uses the UK degree classification system, not GPA. UCL publishes an official international conversion table mapping UK marks to US GPA, ECTS, Chinese GPA, German grades, Italian marks, Indian percentages, and Dutch/Spanish grades. This is the most detailed official conversion table published by any UK university.
What GPA does UCL consider equivalent to a 2:1?+
UCL considers a US GPA of 3.3+ as equivalent to a 2:1 for graduate admissions. UCL's own conversion table shows 2:1 (65-69%) = 3.7 GPA and 2:1 (60-64%) = 3.3 GPA. This is the most granular official UK-to-GPA conversion published by any university.
What is the Honours classification threshold at UCL?+
UCL's thresholds are: First ≥ 69.5%, 2:1 ≥ 59.5%, 2:2 ≥ 49.5%, Third ≥ 40%. Note the 0.5% rounding — UCL rounds 69.5% up to a First, which is slightly more generous than the standard 70% boundary used by most UK universities.
How does UCL's GPA conversion compare to other UK universities?+
UCL is unique in publishing a detailed 8-country conversion table. Most other UK universities (including Oxford and Cambridge) only list GPA floors for admissions (e.g., 3.5 for 2:1, 3.7 for First). UCL's table breaks down the 2:1 band into 65-69% (3.7 GPA) and 60-64% (3.3 GPA), which is more useful for precise conversion.
How do I use UCL's international conversion table?+
Find your UCL mark, match it to the closest classification band in the table above, and the calculator computes the US GPA equivalent. For Chinese GPA (4.0 scale), UCL maps: First = 90%/3.7, 2:1 (65-69%) = 80%/3.3, 2:1 (60-64%) = 80%/3.3. UCL's official table is accepted by most credential evaluation services.
