    Hm interesting. In university the grades are totally different but also not super important? In terms of after university, when you go for a job, you either have done the course/degree or you haven’t lol, people don’t really talk about what grades you got. Maybe if you were a genius getting HDs (high distinctions) in everything you do lol but yeah I’ve never heard people talk about their actual grades post-university.

    Do you share your grades/score with your potential employers over there?

    • People who did well usually put their grade point average (GPA) on their resume. I was a hiring manager for some decades, and I didn’t tend to hire people who had less than a 3.2 from a decent school. Generally when people didn’t put their GPA it meant they didn’t get 2.5 or better.

      But I was hiring for a specialty, and for a lot of jobs they really just want you to have the degree.
