It typically refers to a degree classification that falls between a First Class degree and a Lower Second Class degree. Students who achieve this classification usually have a final grade ranging from 60% to 69%. This classification is important for graduates as it can influence job prospects and further educational opportunities. Many employers and academic institutions consider an Upper Second Class degree as a strong indicator of a candidate's capabilities and knowledge in their field of study.
