I finished with second class lower in my department and it was given to me with 'hons.' So I reason that it is for those that are at the forefront of their department or the entire level.

Jethrolite:
Part time students do not get (hons) too. Any course work done outside being a regular student does not attract it.

big lie my dear

I finished with second class lower in my department. I was given 'hons' because I finished ahead of others. So I reason that it is for those that are at the forefront of their department or the entire level.

Zionprincess:
big lie my dear

You are not right because I know those that did PT and were given 'hons.'

[quote author=Ezi39 post=60114562] Yes he is wrong

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.

"Hons" are for those who finished immediately or not more than 4 semesters (2 Academic sessions) afterwards.

Balkan:
Any degree from 2nd class to 1st class is regarded as hons.
3 Class to pass is just Bsc without hons.

Tha'ts is simple

You know you're talking about what you don't know. Right?

Ezi39:

hahahaha
you are contradicting yourself

Hons is added for every moral upright student i.e you didnt get into trouble whilst in school.....

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.

A dissertation is a long research based essay on a particular subject. For University students this is usually completed in their last year of University. A dissertation -which differs from a thesis- is usually 60 – 100 pages at a set font and type spacing (e.g. ariel, 12pt, single spacing), although the final product tends to be longer than 100 pages.
Note that this can change from course to course and from university to university

Sir what does it mean that we have to dissertation for the completion of Bsc.hons. degree ?

Actually, for the Bsc (Hons) you will be required to produce a project or some form of a personal work, not necessarily a dissertation!

KunkAcid:



The B.Sc (Hons) degree is awarded when a course of study is completed within the maximum number of years allowed to study such a course in that particular university. Whereas, a student gets a B.Sc degree without honours when he completes his course of study outside the stipulated duration.

For instance, the minimum number of years required to study Engineering in any Nigerian University is 5yrs, and the maximum number of years is between 7-8yrs.

If a student completes his study within 5-8yrs, he gets B.Sc (Hons). But, if he does so after 8yrs, he gets B.Sc without the honours.

NB: This is how it is in Nigeria.

Gram! Very correct. My only question has only always been whether it is possible to finish outside stipulated time with a 2.1 or 2.2 at all. I see most of those finishing outside stipulated time doing so with ordinary pass.

EkoAcademy:


A honours degree is different from an ordinary degree in the sense that the course load (credit) is heavier than that of a regular degree. Although nowadays the term has lost its relevance.

How heavy? in kilograms pls. I mean the weight.

Zionprincess:

big lie my dear

This is how Delsu operates.

Amossity:
when a student didnt spill over, hon will b added to his/her bsc bt if he/she spill over due to some carry ova courses, then no more honor, onli bsc..

Best explanation so far

MaziOmenuko:
Go thru this thread below:

https://www.nairaland.com/2373431/difference-between-bsc-bsc-hons

Meanwhile, there's no clear cut deference, it's a borrowed tag that is not applicable in Nigeria universities. In most universities abroad, you can do a bachelors program without a dissetification or project. So you just do your coursework without doing a project and u are awarded a bachelor's degree. But if you complete a project work, you are awarded a degree with Hons. But in Nigeria universities, there's no option of doing a bsc without a project work. So the hons Nigeria universities borrowed is not really applicable here so different universities give it their own meaning.

dissertation pls

EkoAcademy:

You are wrong please... Dont mislead them..

Hons is attached to your degree if you didnt have spill over but once you spill, you dont get hons

RexEmmyGee:
..

what he is trying to say is that you get Hons if u dont spill, but when u have spillover you dont get hons...which is very correct...

But here in Nigeria people always find a means to get that hons after spill because of corruption

mykel25:
First class upper division give you (HONS) hons means honour

FIRST CLASS HONOUR
SECOND CLASS HONOUR (upper division)
SECOND CLASS HONOUR (lower division)
THIRD CLASS
PASS
FAIL

crap

second class upper also gets hons

Malawian:
Not correct bro, I got Hons but also had an extra year.

which school you graduate from?

BabaIbo:

But here in Nigeria people always find a means to get that hons after spill because of corruption

Thanks for the enlightenment.

But do you think it is considered by employers?

LastMumu:

You can only add the 'Hons' to your degree if you were a honorable in your school and the election that got you into that position wasn't rigged. Anything anyone else is writing aside what I just wrote is complete rubbish!

nice one. Your head is there, your moniker says it all

BabaIbo:


crap

second class upper also gets hons

Don't be quick to type rubbish......even if your brain is crappy DON'T

The difference is like this in Canada, atleast:

B.sc is 90 credits work load

B.sc (hons) is a 120 credits work load.

The years you used in completing the course load
has no relevance other than the number os credits
you completed

hmmmm

Olamybabs:
lwkmd

uniquerotex:

Exactly.. No need for further argument also students are awarded without honour when they finished with a pass which does not fall into any class of degree. You got it perfectly well.

your contribution is indisputable sir!
No one is awarded a B.Sc (Hons) with a pass.

There is no honour in that sir!

"Bachelor of science with second class honours" is what is written here. How about that?
