Postgraduate Admissions Question...

Hey, I've a question for anybody who is familiar with the whole postgraduate admissions process.

I completed a BSc back in the mid 00's, and ended up with a 2.2.

Older now and a bit wiser (or at least the former), I've recently completed an MSc with a 1.1.

My question is, if I was to apply for another postgraduate course in the future, to what extent will my MSc grade paper over my BSc grade (what with the usual "gotta have a 2.1" requirement), and conversely, to what degree will my relaxed attitude to education in my teens/early twenties continue to follow me about.

Minimal requirements for most postgraduate courses are a level 8 with a 2.1 grade. Having a M.Sc. at all surpasses the requirements. Your latest qualifications always take precedence.
