Failed a module in first year
you know how most firms want a 2:1 overall and l got a 2:2 in first year cuz of a resit as well as first year results still going to be looked at, can ur 2nd and 3rd year grades still save you from it? do most firms also ask you to list each modules or do they ask you to what u got in each year?- Dyno
