Hi everyone,

Last week I got a funding offer (which I accepted) and was told I need 2.1 in my MSci to obtain that. I assumed my university would offer me something similar, however they've offered me a conditional place dependent on me getting a first class degree. I was expecting perhaps getting an offer of 65% or above.

I'm a borderline 2.1/1st student and my final grade is sort of dependent on what I get in my Masters thesis. But I'll definitely get a 2.1 and I also have a (very good) supervisor sorted - so sort of thought my PhD was guaranteed and that getting funding was going to be the hard part.

Does anyone know anything about failing to meet conditional PhD offers?
