I’m I still able to graduate with a 2:1?

I have gone through a really tough time at university facing a lot of mental health issues. But I’ve still made it to final year. I got a 3rd in first year which counts as 10%. A 2:2 in 2nd year which counts as 30%. Final year counts as 60%. I am aiming to graduate with a 2:1 as it’s a waste of time if I get anything lower but I just submitted my research proposal for my dissertation that I was aiming to get a first on as I need to get a first class in final year in order to get a 2:1. I received my mark despite massive effort and got 65% for this research proposal. The research proposal counts to 10% of the final mark for the dissertation module but I’m worried that I won’t be able to get a 2:1 anymore as I was aiming for a 1st class in all of my assignments in order to get a 2:1. Can anyone advise me on what I can do please and if it’s still possible to get a 2:1?

Best advice I could give you is speak to your personal tutor about this, they are there to support you, same with all the services your University offers, part of your tuition fee essentially pays for these services so make use of them.
I doubt this has damaged your chance of getting a 2:1, but if you want to give yourself the best chance at getting that grade I’d reach out to your university.

Given we don’t know percentages I.e what you got in each module and what percentage each module is worth, we can’t say what you’ll need.

What is best to do is ask your academic tutor or course leader exactly what you’ll need in order to get an accurate representation of what you’ll need.
