Is this a good mark? I haven't got the other grades yet.
I mean I want a first because I want to be able to get into a good university for a masters (a few years after I graduate) and I want to get a job.

Alot of Uni's only require a 2:1 anyways for masters.
Throughout my u/g a mark of 65 would have me bouncing for the stars :hyper:
I don't wanna be the one who graduates then can't get anything more than factory work because I've been there and done that.
Not meaning to sound funny or ought, but I doubt that's going to happen 65 afaik is a great mark. I got 69 in one of my modules and was over the moon!!! In the rest I think I got <50 :crying:
In that case, I'm stuffed going by your theory. I'm gonna end up with a 2:2. Factory job it is then.
If you leave with a 2:1 then thats a very good mark and I don't think you'll have any problems getting onto a masters course.
You can get on some masters courses with a 2:2 as well. I'm sure i heard somewhere that some employers look more positively on a 2:1 than a 1st sometimes. People who get 1sts may have spent all their time working, but they may not have done anything else at uni! In terms of life experience, social skills and societies are a good thing.
:yes:
Im going to music college next year in which you do work for a degree (BMus hons) but i never thought about the fact id have to work. I knew id have to practise lots and lots but we only get 4 hours lessons a week not including about the expected 25 hours practise you should do plus instrumental lessons.
But out of those four hours - plus a few performances I need a degree - woah :hyper: never even considered the mark id get at the end of it all!
60-69 = 2:1
50-59 = 2:2
40-49 = 3rd / Pass
