Nines Club

The "Nines Club" describes people who have achieved third class honours results in each of their three years of a standard length Bachelor's degree whilst at University. Bachelor's degree candidates who achieve a result not within the third-class bracket (normally 40 to 50%) in any of their three years do not qualify for the "Nines Club". [1]

The term is normally reserved for bachelor's degree candidates who attended Oxford or Cambridge Universities.

Carol Vorderman, having studied Engineering at Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge and co-presented Countdown alongside Richard Whiteley, is a noted member of the "Nines Club".
