* First-Class Honours (First or 1st)

* Upper Second-Class Honours (2:1)

* Lower Second-Class Honours (2:2)

* Third-Class Honours (Third or 3rd)

* Ordinary degree (Pass)

* Fail (no degree is awarded)

She expects you to have obtained at least 2:1, which is, as you can see above, Upper Second-Class Honours or higher.

There is no real, direct conversion between the US university grading system and that of the UK. Roughly translated to US terms, a 2:1, or a “good degree”, means that you need to have a bachelor’s degree from an appropriately accredited, respectable university*, and to have done fairly well there. I’d say above a 3.3 GPA. But in reality, her university will need to take a look at your transcripts and do an evaluation to see if they consider your degree to be equivalent to a 2:1.

*I’m not saying it has to be from Harvard, but it can’t be from Devry.
