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][2][3][4]
The term is normally reserved for bachelor's degree candidates who attended universities of Oxford or Cambridge.
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".
