    Im doing a Business Degree at the moment but I am on course to graduate with a 2:2 Degree at best. I realise this is not sufficent to get a good training contract but it has been suggested to me that I should look at a doing Grad Dip and then either do a masters or go into employment?
    Has anyone got any advice on this option or any such courses out there?

    Others will be better equipped to answer this, but I'm in a similar situation! Graduated with a high 2.2 (2% off a 2.1 to be exact) and had problems getting employment/training contract but I may have left it to late to apply!

    My advice would be that accounting will never hidden you so it's defo a good thing to have along with your business degree! So I would say go for it if you have the time and funds!as regard a course, I attended nuim for my degree, really enjoyed that college environment and for the most part the lectures! Heard good things about accounting in DIT or DCU(can't remember which),as there entry requirement is lower ie a 2.2

    I am currently doing a music course, want to do it as is a passion of mine, but I am currently looking into sitting my cap 2's through ACA ps elevation programme! I'm hoping that this will look good on my cv that I didn't just waste time waiting and hoping for something to happen when I finally get an interview and I had my own initiative to actually go and push on even in this difficult times regarding jobs.

    Something that always stuck with me from my account course that a lecturer said to us was" it's better to be underemployed than unemployed and have that on your cv" , read into that as you wish!

    Hope this helps in some way!
