[QUOTE="aleks.lata, post: 220696, member: 32948"] Hi [USER=42661]@Kirsty Wilkins[/USER] I hope you're doing well. My question is about providing information about modules done during the year abroad: I did a compulsory year abroad as part of my LLB at Osgoode Hall Law School in Canada. The year abroad did not contribute to the final LLB classification and was simply recorded as pass/fail on the transcript (I achieved a high 2:1 in my LLB). I got alphabetical grades for each module done at Osgoode, but they were only used by my home university to see if I did not have any resits (and that they could record "year abroad passed"). As a result, I don't know % grade from my modules in Canada, as neither the host university provides it, nor my home university has a conversion table for Osgoode Hall Law School. In addition, the grades at Osgoode are also ranked on a stricter system than in the UK university, as they use curved grading, meaning the grades are not ranked based on the number of correct answers on an exam, but are limited to a certain number of students who are permitted to get each letter grade (only x% of students can get A, x% B etc.), meaning many students receive average grades they are not accustomed to (like C/C+). How would you go about that in the application form? Especially, where we have to list % grades for each module, and there is no additional box to further explain the university education? [/QUOTE]
