Maybe a stupid question but i am from holland and never heard of the term 2(ii) and 2(i). I know it is a degree but is this include yor grades for the courses you have followed of does it mean your education you have done, the courses or the bachelor you have done?
2.1 is an average of over 60% in undergraduate (bachelors) exams taken over typically three years (although not all exams contribute equally to the average), 2.2 is an average over 50%...and a 'first' is an average over 70%
Validus, it is unlikely that your question will attract a response from the original poster as a period of nearly two years has passed since the enquiry has been created.
A 2:1 is also equivalent to 60% and 2:2 is the same as 50% (not just above these percentages). They are both second class but 2:1 is a high second class and 2:2 is a low second class.
@validus, the system in holland are marks on a scale from 1 to 10, below 5,5 is insufficient to pass en above 5,5 is sufficient, 8 means good for example and 4 means poor, 9 en 10 are very very good but are hardly given in holland.
a pass is 40% and above. a 2:2 is 50% and above and a 2:1 is 60% and above. first class is 70% and above. in my uni (UK) that is ur overall mark. so u could have marks of 40's in some work and have higher marks in others and still get a good classification. for a masters degree 70% and above is classed as distinction. 60% and above is merit. below that is pass -dont know how much below. i never looked below a merit...which i managed to get for my masters...lol!
