English term or phrase: a 2:2 degree
Ecco la frase: "We need you to have a 2:2 degree (or equivalent) in any subject". A cosa corrisponde in Italia ... a un diploma di laurea di primo livello (3 anni di studio e 180 crediti)? Grazie per qualsiasi suggerimento!

Explanation:
More or less! A class 2:2 is considered an average score in the UK. To continue studying for a Master's, for example, universities usually ask for a 2:1 or a 1st class degree. So it would be fair to assume that a laurea triennale with anything above 100 would suffice, but every faculty and university has thier own rules on the matter.... A 'vecchio ordinamento' degree would be more than good enough, whatever the score.

Here in Italy a degree taken in the UK is not worth anywhere near the same number of 'points' as a standard Italian degree! Don't think the UK apply the same reasoning however! Good for Italians, not so good for us Brits....
