Explanation:
[edit] Third-Class Honours
Third-Class Honours is the lowest honours classification in most modern universities. (Until the 1970s, Oxford used to award Fourth-class Honours degrees, although they did not divide Second-Class Honours and so still had four classes like everyone else.) Roughly 20% of students achieving an honours degree receive a Third.[citation needed]

Third Class degree graduates can have very successful careers. Carol Vorderman, who received a Third Class degree, is well known for her skill at mental arithmetic and now co-hosts Countdown[4] with Des O'Connor. Hugh Laurie also achieved a Third Class degree, and has become a very famous actor[5]. Christopher Hitchens and David Dimbleby received Third Class degrees in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics.
