Hello everyone, firstly i apologize if this thread is not in the correct forum, i am new to Podiatry Arena.

I am currently a student in SAlford University on the podiatry course and i'm currently thinking about my options and getting some conflicting infomation.

I started off in 1st year and i got an average mark of 67 and then it went downhill in 2nd year, i was unwell and didnot attend a lot of lectures and missed Jan exams due to ill health and my pmc form was not accepted, to cut a long story short i have a 2nd year overall mark of 43 percent.

This means as per the grade markers for salford university i need to average a 55 percent pass in all 6 modules to get an overall classification of 2.2.
I am worried as the modules are assignments which are not my strong point and only one written exam, which is my strong point! I am worried i will not make a 2.2 and have a 3rd class degree.

I know i should be concentrating on working hard and acheiving the marks, but i am worried by some of the information i have heard/ read involving hpc registrations and 3rd class degrees.


I have read that you cannot register with hpc unless you have an honours degree (on hpc website, booklet printed 2012.
But i have heard that a 3rd class is just a pass and doesnt have honours

I'm getting really concerned and cannot find any definitive answer online. I was wondering if anyone had any info/advice.

I know i'm getting ahead of myself and i am going to work hard despite a shaky 2nd year, i just dont want to be in the position of getting a nasty shock if i get a 3rd then find out i cant register/practice/

Many thanks in advance :) :) :)

As per Mark, you really need to talk this though with your tutors.
