Upper second-class honours equivalent
Hi!
I'm a student from Canada and I was thinking of going into the Master of Medieval Studies programme at York. I only have one question and I hope that someone can help me with it.
What exactly does "upper second-class honours" mean? Is it a degree? or simply a grade? I have a GPA of 3.09 out of 4, so do I qualify?
Any help will make me extremely happy, especially if it means I can go study in England next year!
Thanks!

This has probably been mentioned before but the degree system works like this:
First Class
Upper Second Class (2:1)
Lower Second Class (2:2)
Third Class
Fail
Now, in my university it works that if you get a First you have scored 70% or higher, a 2:1 is 60-70% and so on, until below 40% is a fail.
If you have a foreign degree, they'll look at your equivelant.
