The University of Melbourne uses the WAM as its main academic measure, together with its own grade names: H1 (First Class Honours, 80+), H2A (75–79), H2B (70–74), H3 (65–69), P (Pass, 50–64) and N (fail). Your WAM is Σ(mark × credit points) ÷ total credit points.

A Melbourne subject is normally 12.5 credit points, so a standard semester of four subjects is 50 points. Because some external bodies ask for a GPA, this calculator also shows an indicative 7-point GPA mapped from the Melbourne bands — treat it as a guide, since Melbourne's official record is the WAM.

How Melbourne grades work

The University of Melbourne uses its own grade names. H1 is First Class Honours, 80 or above. H2A is 75 to 79. H2B is 70 to 74. H3 is 65 to 69. A Pass is 50 to 64. Most subjects are worth 12.5 credit points, and a standard year is 100 points.

Melbourne works in WAM, the average of your marks weighted by credit points. Like Sydney, it does not issue an official GPA, so this tool gives your WAM plus an indicative GPA for forms that need one.

For a plain WAM, use the WAM calculator. For a 7-point GPA, use the GPA calculator. The official grades and scales are on the University of Melbourne website.

FAQ

Common questions

Does the University of Melbourne use GPA or WAM?

Melbourne uses the WAM (Weighted Average Mark) as its primary measure, reported alongside H1/H2A/H2B/H3 grades. It can produce a GPA for external use, but the WAM is the official record. This calculator shows your WAM and an indicative GPA.

What do H1, H2A, H2B and H3 mean at Melbourne?

They are Melbourne's grade names: H1 is First Class (80+), H2A is Second Class Division A (75–79), H2B is Second Class Division B (70–74), H3 is Third Class (65–69), P is a Pass (50–64) and N is a fail. H1 is equivalent to a High Distinction elsewhere.

How many credit points is a Melbourne subject?

A standard Melbourne subject is 12.5 credit points, so a full-time semester of four subjects totals 50 points and a full year is 100 points. Enter 12.5 for a normal subject unless your transcript shows otherwise.

What WAM do I need for H1 (First Class Honours) at Melbourne?

H1 corresponds to a WAM of 80 or above. H2A is roughly 75–79 and H2B around 70–74. Honours and many postgraduate programs reference these WAM bands, so check the specific entry requirement for your course.

What's a good WAM at Melbourne?

A WAM of 75+ (H2A or above) is strong and competitive for Honours and graduate entry; 80+ (H1) is excellent and opens scholarships and the most selective programs. 65–74 (H3) is a solid result that clears most graduate screening.

Is the GPA on this page my official Melbourne GPA?

No. It's an indicative conversion from the Melbourne bands to a 7-point scale, for situations where an overseas institution asks for a GPA. Melbourne's official measure is the WAM — for formal applications, provide your WAM or use a credential evaluator.
