Predicted degree class for internship
I’m an engineering student in first year and I want to know how internship applications works as they have a degree classification requirement. I am aiming for a first but I’m in the 2.1s and I want to apply for internship in my second yr.

Hi @AlevelMaths16,
It's great that you're taking an active role in looking at internship opportunities already. So how the degree requirement work is generally a lot of trust provided by the company. Generally for application forms you will be asked what your predicted grade is and what modules you have undertook - their grades, modules you are currently taking - their predicted grades, and they may ask which modules you will be taking. When asking for a predicted grade you can take it one of two ways: you can say this is what I predict I am going to get knowing my strengths and my abilities or you can play it safe and just write what grade you're currently at.
Most of the time, they don't ask for proof - it's only if you were offered a graduate job do they want proof of your degree.
I hope this helps!

There is no standard process as every company is different. Universities don't typically provide predicted grades either. If the requirement is a 2:1, you say or confirm you are on track to achieve that, any apply.

That makes sense

Hey my friend, in the off chance you might reply to a message from a year ago, I am in a situation where I got good grade in my year, First Class range, my second year, not so great, a Third range so right now I am about in a 2:1 predicted range, but for my first semester course for third year it did not go so good, around the 40% range but This was only for 2 subjects out of 7, I have an internship for Deloitte and the contract says the following
"Our offer is conditional upon: Evidence that when you join us you've either: just completed the penultimate year of your undergraduate degree and are on track to receive at least a 2:1 or equivalent;",
I am not finished my exams yet but I have a good chance but even then my results don't come until halfway through June a week before my internship starts, Any thoughts would be appreciated
