Hi I've just done my Maths degree and I've failed it. I would like to do a 1 year MA/MSc but nearly everwhere asks fora 2:2/2:1 if you want to do a masters

Is there anywhere that might accept me even though I havent even passed my degree.

Thank you.

Basically, no...you can't do a masters without a bachelors degree/or equivalent.

Why not re-register and finish your degree?

Really sorry to hear that - how horribly gutting for you :-( As far as I'm aware any accredited university won't accept somebody onto an MA/MSc without having first completed their undergraduate and passing it - it is postgraduate and sadly, as you didn't pass, you can't be a 'graduate'. Don't waste those three years, can you retake your final year? If you want to go on now and further your education then it would be worth is so that you can carry on, another few months is nothing in the grand scale of things, you would need to get a second class degree but that may still be possible. Good luck and I really hope that this all works out for you, I'm so sorry you've had to go through this!

Really sorry to hear that things haven't worked out. I echo the comments that you will need to finish this before doing a Masters.

Have you spoken to any of your tutors about why this didn't work out? It would be good to get their feedback before starting your final year again - it might help you identify what aspects you need to focus your attention on. It may also help you to strengthen your approach to a subsequent Masters course.

If you feel that re-doing your final year at your current institution wouldn't be ideal (e.g. was there a problem with the course itself?) or you feel you would make more progress if you had a change of scenery, would you consider transferring somewhere else if it were possible? If it is feasible, maybe you could even transfer into a 4 year programme that leads to an MSc rather than BSc?

Good luck - I hope it all works out for you.
