Yoshie Posted May 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 First exam was a flop. Going to be so hard to pull my average up to get a 2:1. May as well try but I can't see it happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark_INIESTA_davies Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 Did any of you do placement years (sandwich courses)? Was looking at leaving mine and not doing it but using that year to completing a masters. Personally I think a degree is worthless and envy people that have gone into the job market at a young age and progressed through experience. Too many clever people with high marks have been out of work that I know off and it's quite demotivating knowing you're not as clever as them but you could be in a worse situation. My focus of attention is 50/50 at the minute it really is - should I progress with my business or go for "£40k" debt for a black hat and a piece of paper. In reality I'm more disappointed with myself that I have put education before things I've wanted to do such as have a kid and travel across the world etc Who knows that sh*t may still happen but I don't want it to happen too late in my life.

FinalBawse Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 A placement will allow you to come out of uni with ACTUAL experience to take into interviews and hence be able to go for actual jobs. A bachelors / masters will see you into graduate schemes as they are prepared to teach you, applying for roles without any experience is quite hard. A degree allows an employer to assess your ability to learn, if others with experience apply, they will fly past you most of the time.

HangTheDJ Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 2:1, 65.2% Pretty happy overall, I did shite in one of my exams that I really shouldn't have (I took my eye off the ball because I knew I was safe in 2:1 territory as we got dissertation marks back prior to sitting exams). Which I'm annoyed with myself about as there seems to be a load of people who have had their degree class compensated, despite not meeting percentage criteria, if I'd have got an extra couple of per cent maybe they'd have bumped me up. One of my flatmates got a 59% and got a 2:1 and another got 64% and got awarded a first. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Planet Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 My uni year starts in oct and ended in early June ClOcked that a few job positions have been filled already, kinda annoying because there were a couple local firms who I had my eye on that are telling me positions have been filled recently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rippy Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 I'm definitely looking at a 2:2 this year. Regardless though I've heard 3rd year accounts for around 86% of my whole degree. Should've smashed Chinese module, at least 80%, but got 73%. Needed that to support my other marks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HangTheDJ Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Just concentrate on dissertation. Everyone I've spoken to has had their degree class determined by their dissertation, regardless of overall grade. My flatmate- 64% overall, no Firsts in exams or any coursework but 72% on dissertation and getting awarded a 1st. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting my finals results soon, in a similar position wherein I had 1 dodgy exam and will need the remaining 3 good exams to support the potential sh*t mark I might get.

Rippy Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 I dont have to do a dissertation. Im now choosing modules I think will be a slight breeze, rather than ones I want to do like financial derivatives & engineering. Not sure whether to go for 10 or 20 credit modules.

JGGB Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 Still waiting on my degree result. My portfolio which was the equivalent of a dissertation was poor in my opinion so I'm thinking I may be on a 2:2. I've been borderline all through uni. Every mark has varied between 54 and 68 since I started. Gutted I never got a first but if I manage to scrape and overall 2:1 then I'll be over the moon. I'm quite a lazy c*nt so maybe I don't actually deserve it. The three weeks of late nights/ early mornings/ no sleep to complete my coursework may have paid off. http://lookdwn.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/viteshs-barber-shop-v-cuts.html was one of my assessed pieces and feedback so far has been pretty positive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JGGB Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 Got a 2.1 in Journalism but still waiting on individual module marks. http://lookdwn.blogs...m-magazine.html is where you can have a look at the magazine that I made as part of my group project found a few press relations officer/ magazine journalism jobs that I wanna apply for, it's just that writing cover letters is long, need to pull my finger out ASAP cos my summer job I had lined up might have fallen through Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaiKkoNen Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 Nothing like that feeling of relief you get from a 2:1 degree. No one's taking that qualification away from you EVER. Feels good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
