There are universities which, depending on what will give the student the best classification, will calculate either based on the final 2 years or only the final year grades. I think this is dishonest and playing the system. It should be one or the other for all students graduating in the same course in the same year for consistency and fairness. As for which, there are pros and cons of both. Calculating from 2 years gives a broader picture of how hard the student works, but ultimately their ability in the final year is more important.
