It is a four year university degree from an accredited university. US colleges and universities offer the following degrees, associates (2 yrs), bachelors of arts or sciences (4 yrs), masters (2 to 3 yrs after bachelors), doctorates (2 yrs or more).
This prerequisite is set by the Japanese ministry that issues work visas and differs for each nation. I am assuming that for the UK it would be any 3 to 4 year degree from a major university. I looked at the Japanese embassy site for obtaining a work visa for UK residents through this link
The JET Programme - Aspiring JETs - Participating Countries, but I couldn't find anything specific. It just says documents certifying carreer qualifications. Also if you are a UK citizen, you are eligible for a working holiday visa which means you can probably be hired temporarily while in school.
