Senior Tutor’s Report

This year, the raw number of Firsts across all years rose to 83 (24%) from 76 (23%) last year. This represents the fourth highest total in the last ten years (and the fifth highest percentage in that period). By year, the percentage of Firsts was: Fresher 22%, second year 20%, third/fourth year combined 29%. There were 198 2.1s, which is 58%, the highest percentage in the last ten years. We also recorded 27 2.2s (7.7% – the lowest in 10 years) and 4 Thirds (1.4% – the second lowest in ten years). Major subjects with relatively large numbers of Firsts and 2.1s were: Engineering (31/41), History (8/8, with 5 Firsts in Part II), Law (23/26), Mathematics (13/16 with 10 Firsts), MML (15/15 with 9 Firsts), Nat Sci with 14 Firsts. Note that 94% of 3rd/4th years gained a 1 / 2.1 grade, which is a singular measure of success. S M
