I hold a 2:2 degree in Divinity at a Scottish University.

My questions is: Does is matter what classification your degree is if you want to teach in Korea? For example, would a potential employer employ someone who has a 2:1 over someone who has a 2:2 or a 3rd?

Also, does the University itself matter? I am aware that some Universities are more prestigious than others.

I do apologise if this question has been covered recently. I have searched through the last few pages on here and cannot find the exact information I'm looking for.

Thanks in advance.

The grade and subject don't matter in the view of Korean Immigration, as long as it's from a university in Ireland, Canada, USA, UK, Australia, New Zealand or South Africa.
Therefore you're fine.
I received a 2:2 from UCLAN in England and it was never an issue.
Good luck.
