For the majority of courses, your first-year grade does not count towards your final degree classification. /* ]]> */ If a We publish a wide range of tables and charts about students in higher education. The government has called repeatedly for a crackdown on university grade inflation, but, according to new data, the proportion of students with firsts has risen from 16% in 2010-11 to 30% in 2018-19, while the proportion of those gaining either a first or a 2:1 has climbed from 67% to 79%. #footer-widgets aside { width : 25%;

However, Prof Steve West, president of Universities UK and vice chancellor of UWE Bristol, said: "We believe the OfS must be careful not to assume that students with lower entry grades, typically from more disadvantaged backgrounds, cannot achieve first-class degrees.".
