Thank you.
I contacted my local uni and they have offered me an admission to start from second year of their Chem Eng to be able to get a better grade..this way I will be able to build up my grade to a first class or a minimum of 2:1. Are there things that I should be aware of before undertaking this course? for example, the completion date of my undergraduate will be different from my masters?
Hello everyone! I am a new member, I'm psycologically drained and I'm confused about everything. I graduated with a 3rd class in BEng (Hons) Chemical Engineering at a prestigious university in England. My classification was not my overall grade but I was given a third class due to an extenuating circumstance. I fell ill during my third year and I was unable to complete my final year exams. The university gave me a third class and they offered me Msc in Chem Eng due to my academic achievement in first and second year of undergrad. I graduated with Merit. The uni concluded that my masters will cover my undergrad.
Unfortunately, I have been unable to get any science job including low entry level jobs, companies are not ready to look beyond my undergraduate classification. I contacted the university, I was told that it has been a year since I graduated and it's too late to come back and complete the third year.
Help me! What shall I do? Am I to start contacting other unis if they will offer me the opportunity to complete my third year? I am clueless, I know that I am exceptionally good and I can achieve better than that if I had taken my third year exams. I tried applying for PHD, they all want minimum of 2:2 with a masters.
