[QUOTE="carmela, post: 22774, member: 4813"] Hey Jessica, You've mentioned that recruiters are very wary about resits. Question: What if you had to study in another language? Context: I did an exchange in France at a law school. Courses were taught and examined in French. This is my third language. I failed 3 exams out of 15, resat and passed 2/3 failed courses, but I still failed that one. It's worth mentioning that the failed course was a 9/20 in European Union Law (I know, this looks really bad). I positively swing this by mentioning that I increased my second semester marks by 19% in comparison to first semester (including a first (75%) in international law and an 85% in a masters course in European politics), but there weren't real mitigating circumstances other than studying third-year law in French was really hard.

I still graduated with a first because exchange marks didn't count towards degree classification (I mention this; GPA = 3.8/4.0 not counting exchange).
