In the British university system, a pass degree is an undergraduate qualification obtained without honors classification — below a third-class honors degree. It is awarded when a student completes the required coursework but does not reach the standard for an honors classification. The term carries some stigma in academic circles, as honors degrees are the norm, but a pass degree is still a legitimate qualification.
(Britain, archaic) One who passes a university degree, but without honours.
