Hi, I think in the end it was just purely down to nerves and I spent too much time fretting over doing badly, so my efforts ended up counterproductive! I am really disappointed to have let myself down that much and I was wondering if universities would not consider any postgraduate applications because of bad exam results (despite top dissertation and other pieces!)

Hi, I was looking for some advice from postgraduate students. I recently got my honours degree qualification of a 2.2 in Virology (Microbiology) with As for my research project and other coursework but failed a final exam "Core Skills in Microbiology". I know that some universities accept Masters applicants with a lower second class but are the likely to ignore mine because of a fail in a final exam? Thank you.
