Higher education in Tanzania utilizes British-patterned degree honours classifications. Unlike US institutions where 90% is needed for top marks, universities in Tanzania award First Class Honours starting at 70%, which international credential services (such as WES and UK ENIC) evaluate as a US 4.0 (A). Upper Second Class (2:1) degrees convert to 3.3–3.7 (B+ to A−).

Examples

University Modules in Tanzania (60 Credits Total)

Module 1: 72% (First Class → 4.0 GPA, 30 credits) → Quality Points = 4.0 × 30 = 120.0
Module 2: 64% (2:1 Honours → 3.5 GPA, 30 credits) → Quality Points = 3.5 × 30 = 105.0
Total Quality Points = 120.0 + 105.0 = 225.0 ÷ 60 credits.

Why does 70% convert to a 4.0 GPA in Tanzania?

What GPA is a 2:1 degree in Tanzania?

An Upper Second Class Honours degree (2:1, 60–69%) converts to an estimated 3.30–3.70 US GPA, comfortably meeting admission criteria for competitive US graduate schools.

How do UK CATS credits convert to US credit hours?

UK universities use Credit Accumulation and Transfer Scheme (CATS) credits, where 120 CATS credits equal 60 ECTS or 30 US semester credit hours (4 CATS credits = 1 US semester credit hour).

A-Level grades A* and A convert to a 4.0 US GPA (Grade A), Grade B converts to 3.3 (B+), Grade C converts to 2.7 (B−), and Grade D converts to 2.0 (C).
