What a lecturer told me was, Hons graduated after spending the normal number of years. B. Sc without the Hons means you spilled over. But sometimes if you know your way you can spill and still graduate with Hons. But wait oo una sure say some people go university at all?

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

Honours: without extra year or finish in the normal course of time
Without Honours: outside the prescribed duration.
This is applicable to Nigeria as we don't offer 3 years Bsc courses.
Simple

I don't like why people write what they know nothing about, I thought I would get the answer by scrolling through all the massages but I was seriously disappointed!
To be honest, the answer is simple.
If you want (hons) before your degree, if you are a lady just remain virgin till you graduate and you have to show evidence. And in case you are a man, do not have more than 5 girl friends and also remain virgin till u also graduate. Finish!.... For more words of wisdom, I dey for you

In nigeria first class,second class and third class degree has Hons but pass degree doesnt have.thats is difference,it is a big lie that your result will not have hons if you spilled over.
I have a friend(coursemate) who finished with a 2" 1 without honours because he didn't finish within the stipulated period (he had an extra year)..

You are so correct. In South Africa, postgraduate study starts at honours level after your normal Bsc, Bed, Beng, Bcom or whatever degree.
hysteresis:
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.

B.Sc degree is simply B.Sc ( Ordinary) degree at level 7 and usually completed within 3 years with lesser credit/ course work and without requirement for Thesis/dissertation according to Irish/European standard certification grade. A one year add-on is required for Hons degree and most masters programme.

WHILE

B.Sc (Hons) is completed in 4 years with final dissertation and more credits/course work at level 8.

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.
I also had 2 carry ova courses and still have Hons on ma certificate

In simple words Hons is little bit more subject oriented than plain bsc.
This applies to all subject weather arts, science and commerce and hence an Hons degree is more sought out for.
