The bulk of university graduates fall into Second-Class Honours, which is divided into Upper Second Class Honours and Lower Second Class Honours. These divisions are commonly abbreviated to 2:1 (pronounced two-one) and 2:2 (pronounced two-two) respectively. Although 2:1s and 2:2s are technically divisions of the same class (though a large one), the perceived difference between them is high (some employers only make the distinction between graduates with 2:1s and above, and those with 2:2s and below).

It would seem this falls under a similar heading as a Bachelor's degree here.
