About the Melbourne / Unimelb GPA Scale
The University of Melbourne uses a 4.0 GPA scale with letter codes: H1 (First Class Honours, 80-100%) = 4.0, H2A (Second Class Division A, 75-79%) = 3.7, H2B (Second Class Division B, 70-74%) = 3.3, H3 (Third Class Honours, 65-69%) = 3.0, P (Pass, 50-64%) = 2.0, N (Fail, below 50%) = 0.0.
UniMelb uses both WAM and GPA. WAM (Weighted Average Mark) is calculated from your actual numeric marks and is the primary measure on your transcript. GPA on the 7-point scale is also available and is typically used for external applications (e.g., GEMSAS for medical school, international exchange).
| Letter Grade | Grade Points | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| H1 | 4.0 | First Class Honours — 80-100% |

How Melbourne / Unimelb GPA is calculated
UniMelb GPA is calculated as:
GPA = sum of (grade points × credit points) ÷ total credit points
Only letter-coded courses count. WAM uses your actual numeric marks (0-100), while GPA uses the H1/H2A/H2B/H3/P/N codes. Failed subjects (N) are fully included in both calculations.
