Bsc honours simply means the person finished in exactly 4 years if it is a 4 years course, for the B.Tech, degree is degree. If you are given Bsc in Accounting, is accounting a science course

By implication, she means that anyone who had an extra semester, year would only be awarded the B.Sc...without the (Hons.) :/

ekochris:

Yeah....but what if the cause of the delay is out of the student's control i.e. Strikes.

B.Sc without the hons are sometimes offered in courses where the students are not expected to turn in a dissertation (Project/thesis). However, if this is the case, its usually outlined right from the beginning of the program that you shall not be required to write or submit a dissertation before graduation. However, if the hons route is available on the program, then you'll be required to go the whole length- finish the programme and do a dissertation before being eligible to graduate.

Hello Nairalanders, am a polytechnic student of Accoutancy, hoping to switch to a University after my ND and would like to clarify certain issues:

1. Whats the difference between general Bsc and BSc (Hons); does one carry more weight than another?

2. What is the difference between BSc and BTech?
My school is about to be converted to a University of Technology, which means I can proceed to graduate with B.Tech. But am an accounting student - does having a B.Tech Accounting make any sense (since its not a technology course).

Helping to clarify these problems is highly appreciated.

When you graduate with 1st class, 2nd class upper or lower, or 3rd class, you will be awarded Honours. Otherwise, you will be awarded a B. sc(pass)

Difference between Bsc (Hons) and Bsc
1. One cannot find much difference between a Bachelors of Science degree and Bachelors of Science (Hons) degree.

2. Three years are needed to complete a Bsc degree, and four years for the completion of a Bsc (Hons) degree.

3. The Bachelor of Science (Hons) degree is considered to be superior to the Bachelor of Science degree.

4. The Bsc (Hons) is considered to be, academically, more standard than the ordinary Bsc degree.

5. A student will have to write a dissertation for the completion of a Bsc (Hons) degree. On the other hand, this is not mandatory for a Bsc degree.

6. A Bsc degree is easier to obtain than a Bsc (Hons) degree.

As long as you do not spend more than the number of semesters stated in your degree curriculum, you get the (Hons).

Many universities and colleges offer both honours and non-honours Bachelor's degree variation. In most countries, using the undergraduate Honours grading system, the term "Honours" (or "Honors" in the United States) is an academic distinction, which indicates that students must achieve their bachelor's degree with a sufficiently high overall grade point average. In addition, some programs may require more education than non-honours programs. Students who complete all the requirements for an Honours Bachelor's degree but do not receive sufficient merit to be awarded Honours will be awarded the non-honours Bachelor's degree variation in the same field of studies (also known as Minors, Majors, Pass or Ordinary Bachelor's degree), abbreviated "B.A." or "B.Sc." In England, Northern Ireland and Wales, almost all bachelor's degrees are awarded as Honours degrees; a student achieving a passing grade below honours standard also earns the Bachelor's degree, but without the honours distinction.
