I did my first degree in Zim 12 years ago. Last year I decided to go back to Uni because I got transfered to another department where I have the chance of being promoted to a regional manager. I therefore need to add the right qualifications on to my CV. My first time in Uni back home was a blair to me, I did not enjoy it for one reason or another though I passed well. When I started last year, all the "young" students in my class had a funny perception about me. They thought I would struggle. For someone born and bred in Zim where you are taught the importance of hard work, I found the quality of education very ligtweight. All the information is available at your fingure tips and is so indepth. I was used to reading volumes of books, then write up my assignments. Everything is available at my fingure tips, and its indepth. Mix that with my hard work ethics, I can say I am enjoying it. To be honest, I coud have done this degree from home despite being a family man and working full time. Those who doubted me at first have a deep respect for me, they cant wait to see what I produce next. I am positive I will get a first class, but can do with more information in the grading and requirements to achieve one. Does anyone have any information of what the requirements are? I have an affinity my degree, I like it. Naturally I work hard. So those aspects I am already aware off. Its the other stuff that I need to know. Because of credits I carried over I am in my final of my 2 year study.

They are under University Regulations at your place of study under Degree Classification usually.Should be easy to find.

Most unis are able to give you a prediction of your degree classification in your final year,usually after your mocks.Its worth speaking to your lecturers about this, as well as check out what Girimandi mentioned.Best wishes.

well if you are studying in the u.k which it seems you are, then the accepted standard is that 69.5%+ avarage
is considered a first class degree, 60%-69% is a 2.1, 50%-59% is a 2:2, 41% to 49% is a 3rd class, 40% is a pass, this may not be exactly right but it's roughly the classification used, lately companies are turning away any1 with less than a 2.1 so i hope you are doing better, all the best in your studies
