Track Your Module Credits
Add each completed module and its credit value. Your progress is saved automatically in this browser.
Most UK universities structure degrees around a credit system, and understanding exactly how many credits you still need, especially with optional modules, resits, or a placement year in the mix, can get surprisingly easy to lose track of. This tool lets you log each completed module and its credit value, keeping a running total against your degree's actual requirement.
How to Use This Tracker
- Set your total credits required at the top (360 is the standard UK bachelor's default, but adjust for your specific course).
- Add each completed module with its name and credit value as you finish it.
- Your data saves automatically in this browser via local storage, so it's still here next time you visit on the same device and browser.
How UK Degree Credits Work
UK higher education uses a credit framework where most individual modules are worth 10, 15, 20, or 30 credits depending on their size and workload, and a standard full-time year totals 120 credits. Credits are a measure of workload and level, not directly of marks, so completing a module for its credits and achieving a strong grade in it are two separate things worth tracking together.
Typical Credit Totals by Degree Type
| Degree type | Typical total credits |
|---|---|
| Three-year Bachelor's (BA/BSc) | 360 (120 per year) |
| Four-year Bachelor's (with placement or integrated Master's year) | 480 |
| One-year full-time Master's (MA/MSc) | 180 |
| Two-year part-time Master's | 180 (spread across two years) |
Always check your own university's specific handbook for your course's exact credit requirement, since some professional or accredited courses (such as those requiring a placement or specific licensing body approval) vary from these typical totals.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will my data be there if I come back tomorrow?
Yes, as long as you use the same browser on the same device and don't clear your browsing data — your modules are saved locally in that browser, not on our servers, and nowhere else.
Can I use this tracker on my phone and see the same data on my laptop?
No — because the data is stored locally in each browser rather than in an account, entries added on one device won't appear on another. Use whichever single device you check most often for the most accurate running total.
What if my course doesn't use the standard 360-credit total?
Simply change the "total credits required" field at the top to match your own course's specific total, which you can find in your programme handbook or by asking your course administrator.
