Hi,
Bit of an unusual question here. I am in touch with my old university and trying to research but not finding much online, I just wondered whether this is something that can happen and defer to Mumsnet's huge collective wisdom.
I am considering changing careers to something that is competitive and requires a 2:1 generally speaking for employment as well as getting into the training stage.
I obtained a 2:2 because a health condition affected my studies and exams. I missed some exams and the highest mark the university would award me was a 2:2 (Not sure how it was decided). I was just relieved to accept this and not an unclassified degree at the time.
What I would like to know is, in any of your experience, is it ever possible to raise the classification of a degree (this is now 6 years after graduating), either by doing extra modules or having it reconsidered in light of health problems/ similar extenuating circumstances?
With a 2:2, it seems I'd have a very small chance indeed of getting into the field I'm interested in. Whilst I am in a good career now, I would like to give this a shot.
I am confident that I'd have the capability to do this training and job, the 2:2 was purely because of the health problem.
Thanks!
