CV and Uni Module MarksI have finished with a 2.1 degree in Law, but I am just wondering how important it is to have individual marks on your C.V?
I had mitigation for my first two years at university, but my individual grades are so inconsistent it looks really bad on the CV! How much weight do firms attach to them? Im not looking at city firms, mostly regional ones.
In my final year I got a first in my dissertation (80) which was weighted as two modules, but in the rest a mix of firsts, 2.1s and 2.2s. -

Re: CV and Uni Module MarksDepends on where you're applying to.
Some firms expressly state they will not consider your application without a complete breakdown of module percentages.
Others might only care about the final grade.
Generally it will say on their graduate recruitment sites or in their brochures. If it doesn't, I would err on the side of caution and include them all anyway. You could phone them up or email them, but I think for the sake of convenience if you're applying to a lot of firms and they don't make it clear, I would just include them all.
They're likely going to ask at interview at all firms anyway.
