Thanks for your reply.

The thing is my uni somewhat follows the UK system whereby our grade averages are classified into 1st class, 2nd upper, 2nd lower etc., however the bachelor itself is not written as, for example, BA(Hons.) but simply BA. (fyi, I'm a 2nd upper)

There is the option of doing a 4th year to effectively get a BA(Hons.) degree, however not many people choose to pursue that option, given the aforementioned grade average classifications and the relative costs involved.

Is my 2nd upper average thus relevant, and does the civil service look to pay to grades achieved, or simply the cert itself?
