UCAS CALCULATOR

The purpose of this program is to calculate the overall grade of a student and also how
many UCAS points they have achieved. There are three buttons of the achievable grades,
pass merit or distinction, the students receive twelve overall grades and they simply click on
the relevant buttons in order to find out their overall grade and UCAS points. This program
also has an intro screen which allows the user to first choose their course.
