Bemese_0119 [Registered User] 06 June 2017 17:40	Are a 2:1 LLB (Hons) and 2:1 LLM enough for a PhD in international human rights law? User: Bemese_0119 - 06 June 2017 17:40 I know this question might have been asked a thousand times, but since I was doing a 2:1 (64/100) LLB (Hons) degree in Irish Law and my grades on my LLM shape up towards a 2:1 as well (62/100 for the subjects, I am still working on my dissertation) being surrounded by classmates whose first language is English and are scoring above the 70s I am losing a bit of self-confidence. Do you think my results are enough to apply for a PhD in international human rights law and ask for a grant too or I don't have any chance compared to the above 70s crowd being a weak link?
