Marking Equivalency
The UK system of education uses a range of marks which may be different from the one you
knew at school or college. This does not mean it is easier to get an A grade or a pass in a BUE
module. It is as difficult to get a mark of 70% in a British university in Egypt as it is to get 85%
in an Egyptian one. The table below shows the Egyptian and approximate equivalent to the UK
marking system.
