It's not quite that simple. A pass is over 40% in a Masters usually, whereas a 2:2 is normally for grades over 50%.

That's my experience anyway.

Pass is 50% for every course I've seen.

40% and above and you get a postgraduate diploma and not a Masters degree.

Got my results last friday which I am extremely happy about...

First Class Honours in BSc Information Systems

Have an informal job offer from my placement year in a multinational (2nd largest within it's industry in the world), but considering it as a last resort as I would like a career in ERP/CRM Consulting. Have an interview lined up next week.

Just got my results today as well and received First Class Honours in MSci Geophysics.

I'm starting work as a seismic data processor in October.

Graduating tomorrow. MEng (hons) with merit: Electrical and Electronic Engineering.

Got 71% overall but missed out on the distinction.

Congratulations, everyone

Congratulations to everyone who is graduating. University seems so long ago for me, yet it was only 4 years ago that I graduated. The hard work begins now for all you guys

Just thought I'd pop in and say I somehow swindled a First class degree in the end! No idea how I managed it, was expecting to be begging my way up to a 2:1!
Start my job as a set top box middleware dev on Monday, not looking forward to having to be able to /actually code!

OpenToSuggestions · 2 Jul 2011 at 01:33

At Loughborough and my final results are not out for another week. Bah!
The mechanical engineers got their results already!

Mansize_tissue · 2 Jul 2011 at 01:50

2:1 BSc Mathematics, going to wait until next year until I start looking for a 'proper' job, travelling has to happen first!

Aod · 2 Jul 2011 at 14:47

I also managed to swindle a 1st Class Degree in Digital Forensics and Systems Security (Bachelor of Electrical Engineering).
Need to work on finding a damn job now

Congratulations to everyone who's passed, no matter how you did.
Extra congratulations to those of you who've finished your masters degrees!

Beerbaron · 2 Jul 2011 at 14:58

I got a Merit for my MSc Computer Forensics

matt1 · 2 Jul 2011 at 18:27

Congratulations to everyone! I hope you all go on to great things.

It's a great feeling. I remember mine in 2008, and hopefully will do the same next year

shredgod · 2 Jul 2011 at 20:10

BSc in Chemistry, got a 2.2
I had to graduate a year earlier than expected because I missed the grade cut off for my masters year.

by 1%!

Was quite a tough year for me with personal issues etc. Hopefully getting onto a teaching PGCE or applying for some graduate jobs.

CaptainRAVE · 4 Aug 2011 at 16:23

Just submitted my PhD thesis

sniffy · 4 Aug 2011 at 16:24

Nice one dude

What's the title?

Chris. · 4 Aug 2011 at 16:28

All my mates graduated last (EDIT not next!! lol) year, ive only finished my first. Such a mix on whos got jobs lined up and who hasnt though. For example:

All people going into teaching have jobs
Psychology nobody has jobs
Media based stuff like journalism etc, nobody has jobs (what im doing

, maybe they need to learn how to tap phones lol jokes)
Motorsport based stuff (Some from college) Most ending up in a job that wasnt 100% what they wanted, however one is looking at a F1 career starting next year!!

Hopefully when i graduate, things are a bit better, and ill also have more actual work experience, where i had some major responsibility to jam in my CV

Phase Variation: On/Off or Dimmer Switch?

It is all about an adaptive mechanism utilised by bacteria known as phase variation. It allows them to quickly adapt to a rapidly changing environment e.g. in the presence of the hosts immune system. Neisseria and Salmonella are two species that rely heavily on phase variation.

Just glad to have it done tbh!
