*What is a 2:1 Degree?

A degree with second-class honors and first-division grading, also known as (2:1), implies a student’s significant academic achievement, typically indicating an average score between 60-70%.
-
To earn a 2:1 degree, students should choose a preferred university, attend all lectures, utilize the university’s resources, actively engage in coursework, monitor their results, and showcase their academic accomplishments.
-
A degree with upper second-class honors can demonstrate a strong work ethic and academic prowess, increasing a student’s competitiveness for postgraduate programs and impressing potential employers.
