2.1 is the degree pass awarded at the end of the basic degree course. I believe it is a 1st, 2.1, 2.2, 3 and fail. Can also be with Honours. You then get a masters and then, if you feel like being an eternal student, you can go for the doctorate. :-) (I am happy to be corrected)

What's a 2.1 Master's Degree? (surprisingly, google has yielded no relevant information)

Degree classifications go as follows: pass 3rd 2.2 2.1 1st (1st obviously being the best result you can get) Normal degrees are called "undergraduate" degrees (because generally those doing them don't already have degrees. After you have done an undergrad degree, you can choose to continue on and do a "post graduate" degree. Postgrad degrees include Masters and Phds. (Sometimes you can do both the undergrad and the masters at the same time as one longer 4 year course). So a masters is higher up the scale than a basic degree but not as high as a Phd. 2.1 is just the final grade they got.

Sit corrected: A degree is awarded ungraded; this is very rarely used today. An honours degree will be first, 2.1, 2.2. If you don't get the 2.2 then it's just a degree. Masters are similarly awarded with or without honurs.

So, a 2.1 would be equal to say a "B"?

Oh ok. It's just weird having anyone else other than the drunken layabout convicts call us pomms.

You sure about 3rd? I thought that was just a pass.

Just chickened with OU, they do first, upper and lower second, and third. So I'm guessing third and pass are the same on an honours course.

Well actually, now you mention it, no I'm not absolutely 100%, but I'm sure I remember a few people getting 3rds.

Yes, you see that's an American term for us. It would just sound odd if anyone else other than a Yank were to use that. The French call us 'Roast Beefs'. The Scottish call us - well they just call us anything that involves swearing. The Aussies - Poms... It seems that every country has a derogatory term for the English. This is how much we are loved by the others around the world. Makes you proud. :~

A simple degree is pass only it has no grade. An honours degree has the class.
