:DJust one question: Which one among the two classes of B.sc must you have in Nigeria so as not to stay at home for too long searching for work....
As in, is it B.sc degree or B.sc(hons) degree ?

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! angry

U get hons when u finish ur program in the normal number of years. e.g finish a 4 years course in 4 years....whereas u get just a b.sc when u spend more than 4 years for a 4 years course

I don't blame you, I only blame the children liking the trash you typed above. I don't know when it became compulsory to comment on every topic even the one you lack the slightest clue. Op in Nigeria there is no different. But in some countries where we borrowed the terminology from, there is slight different. Actually BSC hons may require extra one year, some times bsc hons takes like four year while bsc takes three years to complete. So in such countries, preference is normally given to to the bsc hons holder by employers. But in Nigeria such is not the case. You can see someone graduating from a particular depertment of a given university with bsc hons in a 4-year program and you still see another person graduating from the same course in the same 4 years from another university with bsc. Employers in Nigeria are not concerned with all that. We just borrowed the nomenclature without application

Whether hons, horns, hoofs or claws, your are damned if you ain't got a skill. Forget all this degree nonsense and go acquire a skill. While those with hons or whateve 'd be searching for jobs, jobs 'd be searching for you.
Which kind of skill?
Re: What Is The Difference Between B.sc Degree And B.sc (Hons) Degree? by NoToPile: 7:49am On Sep 04, 2017
I really don't think its very applicable in naija but what I have observed they seem to do here is if you had an extra year or spill over as they call it, the "hons" will be missing from your Bsc certificate.

Until someone who had seen it told me I didn't believe.

In some other countries it seems a Bsc degree is 3 years that Bsc(hons) degree is 4 years .

Let us speak the language we understand in Nigeria.

BSc hons is different from the ordinary degree because of only one thing.

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

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

1st Class 2.1 and 2.2 as well as 3rd class all have Hons attached. With any of these result you can proceed to the post graduate category but with a pass you cant plus it is without Hons

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.


You have said it all...SMH for graduates who are opening their mouth to say Bsc is 3yrs... While Hons is 4years...in your dream school abi... Reasons they won't get job on time...wen you don't even know this,how will you know anything

He is actually right considering that it is a Nigerian university.

You know, we don't have 3 year BSc in Nigeria. Here, "hons" is removed from the certificates of those with spill overs.

kenechi072:
I think most of you are getting it wrong. In Nigeria, third class and above is a honours degree. Anything below that isn't. It has nothing to do with number of years because I spent 6 years for a 4 year course and I have an honours degree.
