Anyone got any results yet?
Deciding on how neurotic about checking I should be. Stupidly saw a B3 from last semester and thought it was this year... :/

Mine were 2 weeks early last year, which is why I'm being a crazy person about this. And I'm doubly worried as these results decide if I'm into honours, and I think I'm on the borderline for a few...

That's just the deadline, they'll be released steadily until then.


It's the best answer to the question though. It just depends on your criteria for analysing best. Mine is minimising the number of times I need to check MyGlasgow.

As I know that other people will tell me when they do come out all my checking before then is useless. Others can take on the burden of worrying and checking while I do nothing until I receive their informative texts.

(or I may have forgotten this whole 'steady release' thing)
Just back from Glasgow today. My mate gave me a tour of the vet school and city, its amazing :smile: Roll on freshers.

Depends on the course, most Honours modules won't be released until grades are finalised at the relevant Board of Examiners meeting, which will be on or after the 12th.

Just got my first result back! B1 for ESH 1B, which I'm happy with considering I didn't do that well in the essays.

I can't stand it any more :P I'm in 2nd year life sciences, 1st year have theirs, 3rd years have theirs, I bet I'll be left waiting until the 12th :frown:

Well, good luck! At least it's a positive sign if some results are coming through, it shouldn't be too much longer, though I guess the bank holiday could mess things up a little.

Why would you say after the 12th, if the Registry has given the 12th as the final deadline for release of results? Just curious.


Your thumbs will be twiddled raw waiting for your finals results!
Original post by Celtic_Anthony
I've went full time at my work and have filled my social calender to try and avoid that!

Still, a noticeable increase in grey hairs means a 3 back-and-sides from now on in :lol:

When's your LL.M result(s) in?


Oh work... that thing other people do.

I think my results will be similar timing to yours as it is presumably the same board of examiners. I hope they're feeling kind, a muffin basket may be in order.

Thing is I don't get to escape for a while; writing my dissertation at the moment, (literally sitting on level 4 right now; would welcome euthanasia) and it is not proving an enjoyable experience.

Yeah, I don't imagine you could balance work and a Masters.

:lol: a muffin basket is genius (unless nicked from Friends...). I too hope they are feeling kind, Company Law being a horrendous paper.

I hated my undergrad dissertation, commiserations for losing a summer to such torture.


Well I did a couple of jobs during the year, but unfortunately they were tied into the academic year. I did not steal my muffin basket plan from friends, and I don't appreciate the insinuation!

I think company law was pretty tortuous last year as well, my mate came out looking like a broken man...it was absolutely hilarious.

I actually loved my undergrad dissertation, it's just I'm doing this in an area I'm not expert on and even defining my basic terms is proving difficult. I mean, I have had to open economics textbooks. I don't even understand the titles!
I desperately need a job but am going into third year ... so is my flatmate. She's had a job for ages though and can't afford to give it up so I hope I can balance honours with hopefully finding a job :s-smilie:

Third year! Dont make me laugh...bitterly.
Original post by Celtic_Anthony
Ah I see. Haha I vaguely remember a muffin basket being used to win a flat or something.

I'm pretty sure it's always horrendous. Glutton for punishment me.

Yeah I guess the topic is the crucial part. You doing competition then I take it? I would actually like to study that more, although trying to grasp the economics of it was tough this year (probably still couldn't define deadweight loss or consumer welfare harm).


Eh, I'll PM you...don't want to be 'outed' as it were.

Why? Is it a doddle compared to fourth year? :colondollar:

I actually found honours courses easier than courses in earlier years but that may be law specific. I've always far preferred the essay based learning we did at honours to the problem solving that is the bread and butter of the first couple of years.

The thing about honours law courses is that you basically have one essay per term and can then get away with busking most of the rest of the time and then only revising enough to make it mathematically certain you have enough topics to answer in the exam. (to think I got a good degree...it's a disgrace)

English is mental though, I'm sure I remember having friends who had six essays in on one day, or at least, the choice to do six and they had to hand in two.
