Masters Results this week??

brehayes

I heard that the results for masters programmes were to be released today but have just heard conflicting information that they won't be released until next week!

Is anyone able to confirm one way of the other after speaking with their lecturer? I have emailed the Dept and the Office of Exams but no replies... might call if there is still nothing by mid-week

brehayes

just got a reply! 4pm today

Orizio

Tell me when they come up.

Orizio

You got 67.61%. That's a 2.1 but aren't masters degrees just pass or fail?

yep, i think so. a distinction or else just a pass but not sure. I was 3.4% from a 1H, could I appeal?

I guess you can appeal if you want to but unless you feel seriously hard done by or are planning to apply for a PhD then I wouldn't bother. 67 is a solid mark and to be honest when you start working asking you what you got in your masters will be like asking you how many points to got in the leaving cert.

Utter ****e. Emigration it is.

JohnMearsheimer

Ok maybe that's an exaggeration and I should have phrased it better than I did but I'm just giving my experience. All the interviewers I've had after college for graduate positions have blown through 6 years worth of education in the opening 2 minutes of an interview, a bit disappointing after all the time, effort and money I put into it. I found they were far more interested in my practical work experience than some project I did back in college.

Orizio

My 'utter ****e' remark was aimed at my own results and had nothing to do with your post, which I hadn't read.

JohnMearsheimer

In that case it's a big on my part.

sorry man, how did you do.?

I am not going to appeal, im happy out with what i have, cant be assed to appeal anyway..

Orizio

I got about 4% less then your good self. Dissertation dragged me down from a good 2.1 to a mediocre one.

**** knows what I am going to do now. How does one go about becoming a primary school teacher, you don't still have to be fluent as gaeilge do you...

you still got a 2.1.

so thats grand isnt it...?

Orizio

You needed a first to do a research masters, which is what I wanted to do. On top of that 58 for the dissertation is terribly disapointing, even taking into account that I had to do the thing all over again in over two weeks.

So basically I'm stuck with a mediocre grade with a mediocre degree from a mediocre college. Plus no work experience. In a country in the middle of a recession. With the IMF after taking over and almost certainly about to make cuts everywhere. Not a good place to be, although this is largely my fault.

...so how does one get into a engineering course despite doing **** in leaving cert Math...

I've been there! You'll figure something out. If you're interested in primary shool teaching you need a C3 in honours LC Irish to apply for a postgrad in it. I sat Irish in June 8 years after I did the leaving and scraped a C3 so it is possible! Deane college and the College of Comm run classes for adults repeating Irish for the LC.
