    Basically, I find myself in the precarious position of having a low Gpa and needed a serious improvement to achieve a 2.1. I am wondering is it possible to raise ny Gpa to the 2.1 requirment over 2 semesters.

    Are you 100% certain it's weighted equally over all semesters?

    I ask because my course only counted the final year(WIT).

    If only the final year counts, then just study your arse off and you'll be fine.

    It depends on the weighting of each year but should be possible (although would most likely you would need to be getting a high 1.1 for the year)

    Yes, as far as I'm aware it's even distributed over the 4 semesters. i think it is possible but will require a gpa pf roughly 3.6 for both semesters, which seems a very big ask. But I suppose all I can do is give it my best shot.

    Your right here, BA since 2009 has been equal weighting for both second and third year in order to calculate your Award GPA.
    So for a 2.1 minimum you need a 3.54 which is a B+ Average.
