Your A levels results have been nullified by the Higher and more relevant BSc and MSc degrees, regardless of grade.
I would encourage anyone who shows the right research potential to apply to the Oxbridge group, ultimatly at PhD level this is all that matters.
Part 2:
However as everyone knows both Oxford and Cambridge require straight A’s (or equivalent) for BSc entry.
My question is this - that despite my good BSc and MSc results, could my poor A’level results ultimately prevent me from gaining entry into these institutions? To what extent do A’ Level results determine the quality of a PhD candidate?
Do I stand a chance?
Please advise…
Part 1:
I’m 22, I gained a 2i in BSc Biochemistry in 2001 and I recently graduated with a Distinction (1st) in MSc Biotechnology. However my A’ Level grades were very poor indeed and I have no industrial experience.
During a recent talk with one of my MSc Professors, he has encouraged me to apply to the Oxbridge universities for a PhD.
Hitherto I had never really considered the option, however I do respect the opinions of the Professor who has suggested that I do this. My university qualifications do match those required in the prospectuses.
I am a german citizinship and graduated in Germany/ Munich with the major genetics and the minors molecular zoology, biochemistry, human genetics. Now, I am looking forward for ph.D. studentship in the u.k. in the field of development (zebrafish or mouse), telomeres, cell biology in common. If you know any possibilty and stuff concerning funding I would be pleased to hear from you.
Hi, after reading the last topic about 2ii + MSc, it make me wonder...
I heard from people that if you have 2ii, with an MSc, it will make you 2i:
BSc 2ii + MSc = BSc 2i
I wonder how many people in here agree with this?
What about BSc2ii + MSc + MSc = ?
could anyone make some comment on that?
