The important thing that everyone knows is that you need to pass every last module (>50%) to pass the degree. Since we do not have degree classifications, the two things that matter are honours and quartiles. I think you collect honours points if you get over a certain % in each module and modules are weighted depending on size (i.e. number of credits for the module), +25% if module is clinical, +25% if it is in year 3-5. Then if you have over x honours points you get MBChB with Honours. Or something like that. I suppose quartiles are worked out with similar weightings. Plus you can get honours or distinctions (for which you have a viva) in individual strands - or is that only in pre-clinicals? Who knows and frankly who cares?
