Equivalent degree to the British First Class (1st) Honours degree ?

B

I am intending to study for PhD under the studentship opportunity in the UK University.
2 years ago I have received a Master’s degree (pass) from the UK University with Commonwealth country's scholarship. I completed my undergraduate degree in Medicine (B.Sc - Bachelor of Science) in my home country, Northern China. My undergraduate degree’s GPA is 3,71 (93%). I have read much information related to academic grading and international academic grading comparisons. However, I am not sure that whether GPA 3,71 of 4 is equivalent to the British First Class Honours (1st) Degree.

The studentship requirement which I am planning to apply is only for the First Class undergraduate degree or a Distinction at Masters level or equivalent.

I would like to ask for your advice about the academic grading and eligibility? Will I be able to accepted by the PhD studentship? Is there are any agency or organization can help me to compare my undergraduate degree grades into the UK grading classification? Thank you very much in advance.

You need to check the admissions dept of the paces you are looking at. Everyone will vary as to how they convert the grades.
