Module choice is rigged.
We unrigged it.
Most students pick modules from a paragraph of marketing copy. We use the grade data universities don't publish, sourced via Freedom of Information, to tell you what actually gets you the result you're after.

Sourced from public Freedom of Information disclosures. Cells with cohort < 10 are suppressed for privacy. New universities go live as their FOI data clears.
The data universities won't put on a prospectus
Discover Uni and league tables tell you the headline. We tell you which modules within a course actually deliver the grades, and which ones quietly tank cohorts every year.
Real grade distributions, not vibes
FOI requests force universities to release actual mark distributions. We collect, normalise, and structure them so you can compare like-for-like.
Module by module, year by year
See how many students got a First, where the bunching is, how marks have drifted over the last decade. The kind of detail your tutor wouldn't tell you.
Picks tuned to your goal
Optimising for a 1st? Career? Genuine interest? Different optimisations point to different modules, even on the same course.
Anonymised by default
Cohorts under ten are suppressed by design. We're publishing aggregated insight, not individual student data.
In 2018 we ran the same idea on five Exeter modules. Students used it. Then we put it down.
Now it's a proper product at full UK scale. Same wedge, module-level grade distributions, broader coverage, fewer compromises. New universities go live the moment their FOI data clears.
“Wish I'd had this before I picked Year 3 modules. The one I expected to be the easy mark had the lowest First-rate of any module on my course.”
, Final-year Computer Science student, Russell Group university
“Three of the top six modules by First-rate weren't recommended in my course handbook. Module choice is genuinely a research project.”
, Mathematics graduate, 2024
