    If a post graduate course's entry requirement is a 2.2 minimum, does that mean that if you get a 2.2 you have a good chance of getting into the course?

    Thanks.

    Impossible to know I'd say. It helps obviously to have reached the minimum requirement but ultimately it'll come down to how many apply and what their standards are. Many undergraduate courses have a low enough minimum requirement but when big numbers apply that goes out the window.

    I can only comment on the type of Masters I'd be looking at, which would be law. If it's a 2.2 min then I'd say you'd be okay because the more desirable institutions are specifying a 2.1 minimum.

    That's an impossible question to answer. Your chances of getting into the course are entirely dependent on the number of applicants. If you have a 2.2, you've done enough to be considered - that's all that can be guaranteed.
