UK Grading Conversion

I am a Canadian student looking to apply to the undergraduate dentistry program at University of Birmingham. I was just wondering how are grade 12 grades converted to UK grades. Please let me know if you have any idea how grades are converted and what would be a competitive grade. Thanks.
