For the non-English then, a quick guide to degrees. 🙂 The Bachelor degree is the first level of Higher Education (University) and generally the courses last for three years. BA - Bachelor of Arts BSc - Bachelor of Science BEng - Bachelor of Engineering BEd - Bachelor of Education From there, you can go on to get a Masters degree (1 year), so an MA, MSc etc. Then there’s a final Doctorate, which is the PHd. Honours (Hons) is basically the full degree. If you don’t quite pass the degree, you don’t get the (Hons) bit, to my knowledge. 🙂 The way it’s graded is: 1 - First class 2:1 - Upper Second class 2:2 - Lower Second Class 3 - Third class With First obviously being the highest. So I got a 2:1 BSc(Hons) in Computer Science. :beam: Congratulations on yours. 🙂 ---
