A university graduate who narrowly missed out on a 2:1 degree has failed in a landmark legal challenge to have the result reclassified. Andrew Crosskerry, from Co Down, missed out on a 2:1 degree in electrical engineering at Queen's University by 0.5%. He sought leave from the Belfast High Court to have the decision judicially reviewed. His lawyers argued that had he received better supervision he would have achieved a higher degree and they also claimed his job prospects had been jeopardised as a result.

Queen's said it would convene a further hearing of the Board of Examiners to study the case.
