Why did you attribute a ratio to your degree? What do you mean first class degree?

In the UK (and maybe other places?) an honours degree can be passed at different levels depending on how well you do.

Top marks is a 1st Class Honours Degree, good marks gets you an Upper Second Class Degree (2:1), okay marks gets you a Lower Second Class Degree (2:2). A 3rd class also degree exists.

Most post-grad courses and some jobs would expect a 2:1 or above to let you apply.

Take a guess how many doctors and dentists you worked with barely passed medical schools, or politicians you voted for still passed with mediocre subpar scores. Hint: not zero.

You’ll do fine. So stop under selling yourself

Sorry, I don’t understand what you mean. Did this reply go to the wrong person?

My marks were mere points away from being in First range. It’s frustrating as hell to look back on.

It’s a testament to how hard I worked on the course submissions (in the 12 hours before the handing in deadline) that I did as well as I did. Because honestly, when I think back to that final year of being sat in front of my computer screen, the overwhelming memory is having four different browsers open, logged into four different Facebook accounts that I used to be a dickhead troll in racist groups, winding up the racists.

None of that had anything to do with the radio production degree that I’d paid good money to study towards.

A 2:2 is also known as a Desmond, for fairly obvious reasons.
