Title: degree marks Post by: Stef Troll on Wednesday, June 27, 2007, 12:55:05 Masters degree was much easier then the undergrad degree.
This is mainly because there is a higher percentage of foreign students to English students in masters degree as apposed to in the bachelors degree. With English being many foreign students second/third langauage, foreign students tend to struggle writing good essays or making good presentations. As a result, the quality of work produced at masters level is generally inferior to that of bachelors level, and hence the grading system which determines a pass mark is altered accordingly Title: degree marks Post by: Rich Pullen on Wednesday, June 27, 2007, 13:53:19 I've just got a 2:1. I'm doing a Masters in 2008/09.

Title: degree marks Post by: Gelbfüßler on Wednesday, June 27, 2007, 22:13:30 I miraculously pulled out a 2:1 after I was on a 3rd after my 2nd year, which counts towards 40%.
Got an award for my dissertation on "Advanced Oxidation" though. 8) Now to the real world... Title: degree marks Post by: glos_robin on Wednesday, June 27, 2007, 22:21:23 I get mine 9th of June, just had my job confirmed to go permanent though for Magnox North and its not even subject to my degree mark. So at least I don't need to worry about the work side of things and what ever I get for my degree is just a bonus.
Title: degree marks Post by: Gelbfüßler on Wednesday, June 27, 2007, 22:32:53 That's what I should've done in hindsight. I did think that I'd take a year away from Civil Engineering and do some manual labour job to get rid of some of the tonnes I put on at Uni, but now I'm just dossing about and bored all day. Old habits and all that.
