Normal
Hi,Having studied law for five years, which is the norm in my home country, I may have obtained the equivalent to a 2:2 or 2.1 in the UK (the grading system in my home country is known to be quite harsh, as this has also been confirmed by several HR people from law firms in London) on my postgraduate degree, which is a fifth-year degree based on a competitive selection process. I got 61,25% on my postgraduate degree, so it may be a 2.1 as it is above 60% but I am not sure about this and of course I do not want to mislead any recruiter. The issue that I am facing is that I happened to read that students are required to have a 2:2 or above from an undergraduate degree. As far as I am concerned, I got that 2.2 on my postgraduate degree but not on my undergraduate degree. Therefore, I was wondering whether that would be acceptable even though my 2.2 was obtained on my postgraduate degree.
