University Degree

[h1_hsr]

I went to university in the UK and I graduated with a (2.1) Upper Second Class with Honours degree. What is this equivalent to in Finland?

Fukol petrol?

In Finland you do your pro gradu and get graded approbatur, lubenter approbatur, non sine laude approbatur, cum laude approbatur, magna cum laude approbatur, eximia cum laude approbatur or laudatur. after which you are a magister.... or then if you are a dropout with kandidat thats then 0-5.

hi, thanks for your reply, I dont really understand what you mean, sorry.

How many credits would that be also, (120 ?)

I assume that the reason for your question is that you want to do a Master degree here (hence to question about credits).
I suggest that you check out the courses available here and then contact the university that has a course that suits you and ask them the same question.

Yes well yours is about as clear so I am just bringing our both understanding to a level. So if you have a bachelors degree thats then a candidate here depending a bit to where you went and what you studied.... and *when*... with this Bologna Process in the EU making things interesting.

I an only wondering becuase some conpanies have asked me what it would be if it was a finnish degree grade.

I am going to do my masters but not in Finalnd, I have got a place at Kings College London so will be doing it there.

Bachelors degree = Kandidaatin tutkinto. I am not sure what 2:1 is in Finnish, because I was not asked to translate it. You may also say that the average score was e.g. 70 on a scale from 40 to 100.
