    I am considering applying for a few courses in Smurfit either this year or next year, unfortunately I received a 2.2 in my degree - realistically what are my chances of getting in with this grade.

    the course in particular I am interested in is Human Resource Management.

    2.2 is the min requirement for the HRM one so id say youd get in. I doubt a 12 grand course will be over subscribed to. id say your chances are high with a decent application and maybe a good academic reference or two.

    Obviously it will vary from course to course, but I do know students who are currently studying in Smurfit who received a 2.2 degree. The best thing to do would be to contact the course director directly, preferably by phone or in person, and have a chat with them about it.

    Hey guys,

    I know this is an old thread but I'm pretty much in the same boat- I received a conditional offer for MSC marketing in smurfit to start in September but as I'm currently doing my final year exams I am anxious that I may graduate with a 2.2.

    Is it still possible to get in on this? I'm wondering if anyone has experience on getting a full offer on a 2.2 grade?

    Thank you,

    Rachael

    If in doubt contact the Smurfit office, they generally turn around such issues and questions pretty well..

    As above, not many of the courses at Smurfit are over subscribed, so if you have an offer and are near the entrance criteria you should be ok, if in doubt, contact them and speak/explain your story to a real person!
