There is obviously nothing wrong with wanting to learn in humility. I myself started with such a degree but dropped out and I googled the meaning in my first year, however everyone is different.

The only reason I’m awed is the op said he used the internet and still couldn’t find the answer. My ten year old cousins can do that. You have to admit, that is quite worrisome.


A simple Google search with give you over 12 answers immediately, I believe this post is attention seeking.

If not, I can never understand such a person and will withhold my opinion and not share it brazenly like the guy you quoted.

[s][/s]Good day Nairalanders, I recently Graduated from a prestigious Nigerian University, and on my Statement of Result, is written B.sc (Hons).

Tried to Goggle search the meaning of the Hons. to no avail.

Please Nairalanders, what does B.sc Hons means and what value does it add to the Degree?

B. Sc. means Bachelor of Science.

The hons has no importance. It has to do with the schools or educational systems.

Many people have graduated with first class grade with no carry over and hons was not added to their graduating degree.

Though some will tell you it is because the person didn't have any carry over, but I don't think it is true.

B.A is equal to B.Sc.
None is higher than the other. It is just about the course of study.

In Nigerian and British university system, Bachelor's degree with Honours means you graduated with either First Class, Second Class or Third Class grade. It is only Pass that does not have Hons. Pass is Ordinary.

Fortune118005:

BSc Hons stands for Bachelor of Science with Honours. It is an undergraduate academic degree awarded to students who have completed a specific program of study in the field of science or related disciplines, such as mathematics, engineering, biology, physics, chemistry, computer science, etc.

The "Honours" designation signifies that the degree program included an additional level of specialization or depth beyond the standard Bachelor of Science degree. Honours programs typically require students to complete a higher number of credits or units, undertake advanced coursework, and often involve the completion of a research project or thesis.

The specific requirements for earning a BSc Hons degree may vary between universities or countries, but generally, it signifies a higher level of achievement and recognition for the student's academic performance and dedication in their chosen field of study.

You guys should tell me what course You studied in the university, and we're going to play a game. We'll drop our WhatsApp numbers, and we're going to do a video call. I'll ask You a question very relative to Your course of study, if You get the answer correctly, I'll send You 10k immediately, but if You fail, You'll send 10k to the OP of this thread for being bold to ask a question he doesn't know the answer.

PS: the video call is going to be screen recorded, and posted on a popular YouTube channel (I'm close to a few of them), and then it'll be posted here on Nairaland too.

I'm not sure but I think it's when you have a kinda 2 in 1 degree. eg. Agricultural Economics and Extension.

It means the person graduated with Honors, no extra year. That’s what I heard from someone though, I never get to confirm it.

In the context of a Bachelor of Science (BSc) degree with honors in Biochemistry, the term "honors" typically indicates that the program is an advanced and specialized version of the standard undergraduate degree. Here's what "honors" signifies in this context:

Enhanced Rigor and Depth: BSc honors programs generally offer a higher level of academic challenge and depth compared to the regular BSc degree. The curriculum often includes additional advanced coursework and research opportunities specific to the field of biochemistry.

Research Component: Honors programs commonly require students to complete an independent research project or thesis under the guidance of a faculty member. This research experience allows students to delve deeper into a particular area of biochemistry and develop valuable research skills.

Academic Distinction: Graduating with honors indicates that a student has achieved a high level of academic performance throughout their undergraduate studies. Specific criteria for earning honors may vary between universities, but it typically involves maintaining a high grade point average (GPA) and fulfilling certain academic requirements set by the institution.

Competitive Advantage: Having an honors degree can provide an advantage when applying for advanced studies (such as a Master's or Ph.D.) or when pursuing career opportunities. It demonstrates a student's commitment to academic excellence, research proficiency, and specialized knowledge in biochemistry.
