no reference

yes predicted grade (needs to be within reason but usually you can assign this). many banks require your first year grades.

I am a Master (finance) student. Sometimes during the online recruitments they ask me for GPA or predicted degree result (as 2.1, 1st, etc).
How can I do that? In my Master we don't have such things. Does it mean that internships are EXCLUSIVELY for undergraduates?

Sorry, first year in the (extremely complicated) UK education system.

No, no! No way :wink:
I'm still doing it. But we'll get the "final" marks only after the final exams which are in May. Now we're just doing "intermediate" exams wich are worth only a percentage of the final mark. I have some results but I have definitely no idea of how to calculate a predicted final mark - and I'm not even sure if I can do it at Master level!

PS: It's a one-year master

Hey guys!

Basically, I'm a First Year Student at Durham and am going through the whole (rather exhausting!) IB spring week application process.. I don't feel comfortable that I am going to achieve a First/2:1 in my exams this year, and in the event that i get below this (I am only required to pass my exams to continue onto the next year of studies here) I was wondering if you could let me know of anyway of getting round this when I apply for my Summer Internships next year: do you have to declare your "predicted" degree classification on your applications? Is there any way for banks to check whether you lie in this respect? If i convert a Spring Week to a Summer Internship will the company even care what I get this year?

Thank yooou!!

You'll have to put a predicted result for your degree, and actually module results for first year. Try to ensure you get a 2.1, many schemes need it for a summer internship.

do they normally check with the University about your Year 1 module results??

I don't know, but they do like checking on this forum for the people who might lie about them.
