I did not get the degree results I wanted, what do I do now?

Missing out on the degree classification you wanted may seem like the end of the world in today's graduate recruitment, however, it's well worth bearing in mind that many employers would be interested in you and what you have to offer.

If you expected a 2:1 and achieved a 2:2, it is worth noting that many employers do not insist on a 2:1 degree as they consider the importance of work experience and extracurricular activities as well as academic results. It is a good idea to contact companies directly about their requirements before investing time on an application.

You may have to re-evaluate your career ideas if you needed a specific degree result for your career area. Book an appointment with one of our careers advisers to for a review of your options.
