Got my degree marks today

Well done everyone :) I'd like to point out I got my BSC at the age of 13 though and it was no big deal.














Bronze Swimming Certificate that is :p
 
I did fairly well this year, but to get a distinction I need to get three units higher than 70% next year out of four, which is unlikely in the extreme, so I'm also pretty damn dissapointed.
 
Well done to all those finishing their studies. A very unfortunate time to come out of uni with the economy as it is but as they say things can only get better :)

but from a 3rd rate university :D

dont really think much of degrees from crap unversistes - standards aren't the same, one of my friends struggled on Computer Sciense course at Imperial (ie fail 1st year) only to go to UWE and get a 1st!

What an incredibly arrogant post. Who the hell are you to start putting down other people's degrees and university? No justification for putting that person down like that or making comments like that, what a complete and utter **** you are.

Does make me laugh at how smug you come across in this thread with your elitist attitude. You like to think of yourself as being superior with your Imperial degree. Nobody really cares now do they? I know of a few people with respectable degrees from Cambridge/Oxford struggling in normal jobs at the moment. Of course education helps but in the grand scheme of things doesn't always define how well you will do in life. I probably know a few people who have little to no education at all and earn more in a month or two than you probably do in a whole year at your FTSE 100 company.

Might want to learn how to spell or put a spell checker on to save yourself the embarrassment. Try Firefox with it's built in spell checker. I'd be quite embarrassed if I went to a top class university and couldn't spell simple words. There is a certain irony in you making spelling mistakes in a post putting down someone's qualifications.

Its pretty obvious that he got a 2.1/2.2 from imperial and thus feels the need to educate everyone who got a first from elsewhere that in reality he is smarter than them. Says a lot about him. Especially with comments that he works at a FTSE 100 company (could be shelf stacker at a Sainsbury's?).
 
Just got a First in Computing Studies from Northumbria :cool: Also, start work on Monday with the company I worked for on placement (4 year sandwich course)

Congratulations to everyone :)
 
Joy, I failed as my 2 modules which I handed in late did not get the extenuating circumstances applied to as they promised me they would...Angry phonecall time...
 
I passed my second year fine, got 60.5% average.

University does infuriate me though, i worked so hard that last 12 weeks of uni and got some good coursework grades, the exams however were hard, and the law exam in my eyes extremely bias.

A guy i know on the course as well who i ended up doing coursework with did hardly any revision and left an hour early in two of the exams and passed as well (41% and 44%), it does annoys me because i did alright (10 - 15% better than him) but i spent AGES revising, typical do nothing to get 40% (because we want your money), sell your soul (because we don’t want the hassle of review boards) to get anything more.
 
Got through my first year of computer science ok, ended up with 65% (2:1) so i'm quite pleased. :D

Shame it doesn't count towards my final degree mark though. :(

Yea, but you're sitting there on a 2:1 and he's got a third. Passing or not, a 3rd is not going to be looked well upon. Especially in law. Most of the firms there have a 2:1 requirement to even apply.

You are going to find that in any subject, I'm afraid. I think it's pretty hard to fail - you must have done almost nothing, literally.

A third in law is an absolute stinker, career wise.
 
I missed out on a 1st because pages of my final audio mixdown / studio report were missing.

I handed them in, I checked that I did 50 times but they must have got lost along the way. Unfortunately there was no room for appeal, and it was enough to cap my mark at 70% :( (BSc(Hons) Sound Technology, 2003)
