[HPFGU-OTChatter] Quick Brit Speak Question: 2:1 in his MA

[Kathryn]

 Steve/bboyminn
 I assume 'MA' is Master of Arts, but could someone explain the '2:1'
part?

Degrees from UK universities are given classifications (grades) as follows :

First
Upper Second (2:1)
Lower Second (2:2)
Third 
Fail

I think a first is 70% and above, a 2:1 is 60% and above and so on but I
wouldn't swear to that, in fact that may even vary from uni to uni for all I
know.
