Classification Descriptors

At the University of Hertfordshire we use Grade Descriptors for bachelor's degrees with honours which are aligned with the QAA  Outcome classification descriptions (QAA, 2024), see the table below. Grading criteria are used on our Programmes that are based on the UH Grade Descriptors, contextualised to reflect the Intended Learning Outcomes of the Programme and its constituent modules.

This table plus further detailed descriptors are given in Annex D of the QAA Frameworks  for Higher Education Qualifications of UK Degree -Awarding Bodies (2nd edition, 2024).
