Since MU does not belong to this educational systems and is not government-accredited, credit transfer to any institution within those systems is unlikely. The same would apply to other non-UK national educational systems.
Q: How do degree grades and Grade Point Averages work?
A: MU modular taught courses are graded similarly to the American Grade Point Average (GPA) system for the purposes of transcripts and calculating the award of honors. This system is as follows:
Grades A,B,C and D are passing grades. Each letter earns a "grade point" which goes towards calculating the student's average performance. The scale of points is given below:
A = 4.00 (Excellent)

B = 3.00 (Above Average)

C = 2.00 (Average)

D = 1.00 (Below Average)
Other grades may be indicated by letters on the transcript, and the letter codes used by MU are as follows:
CR = Credit for courses by Challenge and Transfer
S = Satisfactory, applied to Bachelor's project reports, Master's theses, Doctoral dissertations, Practicums and Internships
*NG = No Grade (unsatisfactory performance)
*P (Pass) or *Fail (for certain courses)
*W = Withdrawal, indicating an official withdrawal from a course by the student
Certificates and transcripts may be issued either using the American-style GBP system or the UK-style "honors" system (depending on location of student), the equivalents being as follows:

A average = First Class Honors

B average = Second Class Honors

C average = Third Class Honors
