Bachelor's degree: Difference between revisions

Under the [[Universities in the United Kingdom|British system]], and those influenced by it, undergraduate academic degrees are differentiated between ''[[honours degree]]s'' (sometimes denoted by the addition of "(Hons)" after the degree abbreviation) and non-honours degrees (known variously as ''pass degrees'', ''ordinary degrees'' or ''general degrees'').<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.universitiesuk.ac.uk/Publications/Documents/Burgess_final.pdf|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110716233510/http://www.universitiesuk.ac.uk/Publications/Documents/Burgess_final.pdf|archive-date=16 July 2011|title=Beyond the honours degree classification, The Burgess Group final report|date= October 2007|publisher=[[Universities UK]]|access-date=4 December 2010}}</ref> An honours degree generally requires a higher academic standard than a pass degree, and in some systems an additional year of study beyond the non-honours bachelor's. Some countries, such as [[Tertiary education in Australia|Australia]], New Zealand and Canada, have a [[postgraduate education|postgraduate]] "bachelor with honours" degree. This may be taken as a consecutive academic degree, continuing on from the completion of a bachelor's degree program in the same field, or as part of an integrated honours program. Programs like these typically require completion of a full-year long research thesis project.
