Overseas degree equivalency: table

This table was produced by UK NARIC for the Department for Education (DfE).

Since 2012/13, the bursaries awarded for initial teacher training (ITT) have been based on the classification
obtained in the applicant's degree or the highest relevant academic qualification. To assist with identifying the
bursary that applicants with international qualifications may be eligible for, this document advises on the
international qualifications and grades comparable to 1st, 2.1 and 2.2 classifications.

Please note that the methodology employed and subsequent recommendations contained within this
document have been developed to support ITT providers in assessing international qualifications
specifically for the purpose of bursary allocations. Use of the results in other contexts is not
recommended.

It should also be noted that the recommendations apply only to those qualifications awarded by institutions that
are accredited by the designated body in the home country. To check whether an institution is accredited, please
contact UK NARIC.
