    Absolutely gutted. It's for an MSc.

    I'm considering appealing but any ideas on what grounds I can appeal.

    Its a taught masters and I've put so much effort into the year. I was on a 1st avg until the thesis. They require you to pass the thesis to get the masters which really sucks.

    I have a meeting with my supervisor on Thursday...

    Also with regards repeating a thesis, has anyone done this successfully?

    thanks

    I heard that they only issue fails if they think that foul play was involved (plagiarism etc), especially if you feel you did enough to pass it.
    Were you confident of getting a good result?

    Hi swingking,

    I'm in the same boat as this now. Can you tell me what happened for you?

    Thanks a million
