Getting onto an MA Degree with a third class BA

I think you most definitely have a good chance. Obviously, they will look at your grades, but if you have years of experience and have actually done good work in the field, you can refer to all that in your application. If your work's good and you focus in your personal statement/statement of purpose about how your grades in uni suffered due to personal issues but that you've learned a lot of the necessary skills in the meanwhile, and that you really are motivated to pursue a master's in the field and have a proven record of doing high quality work (always make sure to give specific examples of that and tell them exactly what you did and how), then they are going to consider you.

At worst, you lose the $80 fee for application. Shouldn't you at least try your luck?

Hey everyone.

So, I recently graduate with a Bachelors degree in Physics, and I'm not really very interested in pursuing Physics further. Do you guys have any advice on what courses I could pursue for my postgraduate (Master's) studies? Computer Science and Data Science are two that come to mind. Any other suggestions?
