Hello everyone,
I have two questions to ask as I am not a British student and therefore not familiar with the British academic system.
I applied for a taught master's in several British Universities and I have received two conditional offers so far.
One offer is one of the best uni I could hope for this particular master's, but they ask for a Licence 10.8 -I'm not sure but I think it is the equivalent of a 2:2, isn't it? I don't think I'm good enough to have my licence with this grade, even if I won't be too far from it. So my first question is: Would they accept me with only 66% (my average so far...)?
I have received a second conditional offer from a less prestigious uni asking the same thing: they want me to have a Lower Second-Class Honours. Here is my second question: Can I tell them one of the best uni of Europe in the field I am studying (and that's a fact) asked me the same mark and if I ever make it, I will, of course, choose the first one, so could they reconsider their... err... "degree acceptance"? Or would that be very rude to ask them?
I hope I was clear enough to mean what I wanted to say! :-) If not, please ask and I will answer your question(s)!
Thank you very much for your help.
