Hello everyone,
As you can read from the topic, i would like to ask you i you can take a master course without honour degree.
I am at my last year atthe University, and i am afraid that i would take a Honour degree( i must fail in 3 credits to lose the honours degree) so do you know if any university will accept me without a Honours degree?
And 1 more question, when is the right time to aply for a Master degree?
Thank you

None.

On some courses you can start off doing a diploma and then if they think you are able carry on with the project part of the MSc. If you don't have a good qualification then funding can be a major problem! Only probelm is you could still only end up with the diploma.

The very bottom line is almost certaintly not. Even the cattle markets of UCLan, Manchester Met, etc. require a 2.1 (2.2 with some talking your way in). You may also have stood a chance with some considerable (3yrs) relevant work experience, but straight from a undergrad degree its very unlikely.

I'm afraid its very unlikely without an honours degree. You can sometimes get in with a third if you ask nicely and plead your case but without an honours degree its very unlikely. Sorry. :(

I would say yes you can do a Masters without (Honours) as I have spoken to many university's who will allow you to study on an MA. Remember university's are a buisness and they want your cash. Good luck.

To quote Marx (Groucho), any University that will take a person without an Hons. degree probably isn't worth going to. The only rider there is if said person has significant, relevant work experience.

Johnh he can't do a diploma because it's on master degree level, the only difference being is that it's shorter than a masters. I know all mine up until the dissertation is a diploma, than if people do well enough they are allowed to stay on and get a full masters.

Chris I'll take you seriously when you spell universities correctly.

Yes I did a Masters of Arts (and got first class honours) and I only had a pass degree. I now hope to do a PHD. In Ireland a lot of universities would take you particularly if you have a lot of relevant work experience or have widely written
