    Its unlikely to be honest. For most graduate programs you need to have obtained 2.1 Honours Degree and on the rare occasion I have seen it as a 2.2 Honours Degree. Never have I seen it as a pass degree.
    Why not just go back and do the extra year and get an honours degree?

    You will need to do 2 more years to get an iei accredited honours engineering degree, before the move to a research masters. However due to the bologna agreement some colleges are now bringing in a 3 +2 masters so you may be able to find one of those and so a taught masters in two years is feasible

    Moved from Graduates.

    It's all offered on a scale. Ordinary degree is Level 7, Honours is Level 8 and Masters is Level 9. You need a level 8 to progress to Level 9, basically. There are some rare exceptions, as detailed above and they're worth looking into!
