2:1 degree as upper second class Honours... the way I'm reading it - is you didn't screw up in school...

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).

I'd guess that a 3.0 falls into the "you didn't screw up" range...
It's not high honors, but it's not bottom of the barrel either...
