	British undergraduate degree classification - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A degree may be awarded with or without honours, with the class of an honours degree based on the average mark of the assessed work a candidate has completed.
		A candidate who is unable to take his or her exams because of illness can sometimes be awarded an aegrotat degree; this is an honours degree without classification, awarded on the understanding that had the candidate not been unwell, he or she would have passed.
		A candidate for a postgraduate master's degree is usually required to have at least a 2:2 degree, although candidates with 2:1s are in a considerably stronger position to gain a place on a postgraduate course and to gain funding.
