For instance, in many universities in the United Kingdom, a distinction is awarded for achieving a GPA of 70% or higher, while in some Australian universities, a distinction may be awarded for a GPA of 80% or above. In some cases, a distinction may also be based on achieving a certain grade in a specific course or project, or on the overall performance in a master's thesis or dissertation.
It's important to check with the specific academic institution or program for the exact criteria and requirements for distinction in a master's degree.
