Good BEng vs not very good MEng

Hi,

I am currently doing MEng course in Automotive Engineering and it seems that I am completely lost and not going to get good marks by the end of MEng course, however I have 1st for my BEng course. The question is which qualification will be more favorable in terms of employment: strong BEng or 2:2-2:1 MEng?

A 2:2 generally closes some doors, and an MEng is generally preferable to a BEng. Degrees aren't necessarily the be-all end-all of employment, though.

I know that grades are not everything when looking for a job but if you have nothing else except grades...

Then why do you have nothing else except grades? You should have been applying for part-time jobs, internships, and voluntary positions from the moment you arrived at university.

If you're very close to completing the MEng do it even if you get a 2.2 (and its still accredited ) you'll be okay (I say this because it will still give you the option to work towards chartership). Of course ideally you want a 2.1 or higher but a 2.2 MEng won't close that many doors compared to a 2.2 BEng for example.

Siemens, Jaguar, Ford for example are still within reach.
