Your bachelor's degree grade of 5.56 out of 10 would typically be classified as a Lower Second Class Honours (2:2) in the UK system.

This is because a 5.56/10 is roughly 55.6%, which falls within the 50 - 59% range used for a 2:2 classification in the UK.

UK universities may interpret international grades differently and could consider other factors like your university's reputation or course rigor.
