if when you take a HND and decide to top up to a degree whether your HND marks are counted in your degree classification? i have emailed various people (lecturers) and had no luck finding out so i was wondering if any of you know at all.

    I don't think so.

    The HND would be like the first year of your degree and the classification is based on either your final or last 2 years.

    no.
    most often your degree mark is calculated from your final 2 years.
    e.g. at staffordshire university, where i am, its 30% of your overall mark is from level 2. 70% from level 3.
    usually if you are doing a top up degree, you need to do 2 years to get it so its calculated from those 2 years. although the ratios do depend on what university you are at.

    Depends on the individual university and sometimes varies between departments.

    Exactly, I topped up to a Ba from an HND in one year and some of my final year HND marks were taken into account.

    The people I know to have done it were put into different years depending on their grades; distinctions did one year top ups, others did two years. Something like that.
