Merit

Hey everyone,
I’ve just finished my master's degree and received Merit.
Is it considered good in the UK?
And could I apply for PhD with it?
I am considering applying for PhD scholarship and I’m afraid I won’t get the chance
Thank you

Hey Hadil,
A Merit is a good result, so well done.
Yes, you can absolutely apply for a PhD with a Merit.
I’m currently an international PhD student at Swansea University. I’m sharing our postgraduate research application link here in case it helps:Applying for a research degree - Swansea University
