I have failed a master's degree in the UK, and I have failed a course, and now I have 150 points, can I get a degree certificate? That's what my friend Xin asked me. But in fact, the final certificate is determined by the number of credits you earn. Generally, 180 credits (60 credits for graduation**) can be obtained in the UK to obtain a Master Degree; 120 credits awarded to a postgraduate diploma, only academic qualifications without a degree; 60 credits are awarded postgraduate certificates (similar to certificates of completion, which cannot be recognized). British master's degrees are generally one-year system, so there is no such thing as persuasion to quit and retake. Get your grades at the end of the academic year, and those who fail one or two subjects have the opportunity to apply for a re-examination, and the final credits obtained determine your certificate.
There are generally two kinds of failure in the UK, the examination is not a subject and ** is a failure, the examination is a make-up examination, and the **failure needs to be resubmitted**. Many schools in the UK have a soft suspension policy, which stipulates that certain subjects, above a certain score ratio and in a certain score range, do not need to be retaken and retaken. It will not affect the final degree and credits, and each school has a specific policy, so you need to check the subjects prescribed by the school and whether you meet the relevant requirements in advance.
Back to Xin's question, although Xin has obtained 150 credits, but did not reach 180 credits can only obtain a diploma of postgraduate diploma, but the diploma cannot be certified as a master degree when returning to China for academic certification. Certificates can only prove that you have attended this school.
The passing score for a master's degree in the UK is generally 50 points, and other institutions will generally have a chance to make up the examination after failing the course, except for some institutions with strict requirements, unless the subject exceeds the limit of the number of subjects for the make-up examination. If you pass the general make-up examination, you can basically get a degree smoothly and return to China for normal academic certification. If you fail to pass the make-up exam, if you have any objections to the result, you can generally appeal to yourself to fight for the greatest interests. It is possible for the school to give you another chance to take the re-examination, or to apply for a waiver of appeal directly to get a degree.
Finally, if you don't successfully get the master's degree certificate, you can't get it when you return to China, and if you want to solve the problem of academic certification, you can apply for re-enrollment and choose a major that is relatively easy to graduate from during the second study!
