About eligibility for the Cambridge International Scholarship Scheme

Question

On the website of the University of Cambridge, they state the eligibility criteria for the Cambridge international scholarship scheme (CISS). One of them is:

"Have a high upper-second-class undergraduate honours degree from a UK Higher Education Institution, or an equivalent from an Overseas Institution".

I don't understand it. Can someone explain to me what is precisely meant by that?

I had a similar question regarding equivalent Indian degree. (Still has no answers): academia.stackexchange.com/questions/45115/… — user, Commented May 17, 2015 at 6:24

Given that that's the same as the requirement for applying to Cambridge, have a look at the international qualifications page to see how degrees in your country map to Cambridge degrees.

I believe that the "University Minimum Requirement" in that will correspond to the "upper-second-class undergraduate honours degree" in the CISS requirements.
