UK classes are set by weighted averages — 70 is a First. The 4.0 figures are customary references, not official equivalences. A '2:1 required' offer means Upper Second or above.
Questions people ask
What GPA does a 2:1 map to?
Roughly 3.3-3.7 as a customary reference. US graduate schools generally read a 2:1 as strong; each sets its own conversion.
How does a Chinese average map to UK classes?
A common mapping: 80+ borders a First, 75-79 ≈ 2:1, 70-74 ≈ 2:2. UK universities keep their own banding for Chinese transcripts — check the programme page.
