My thought is when a student graduates without a Failed course throughout his study years , he earns BSc(Hons).
Or what is your opinion?
failed course has nothing to do with it. It depends on the program and the institution awarding it

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.

I don't think this is correct for Nigeria's educational/academical system.

It has to do more with graduating without a failed course or carryover than what you explained there.

Bsc chemical engineering ?
Na waaa. is it not supposed to be B.eng or something like that. Engineering is not science nawwww
May be it was Bsc in the 70's or 80's
Re: Difference Between BSc And BSc(Hons) by casualobserver: 2:41pm On Sep 25, 2023
a B.sc is a pass degree (aka let my people go) B.sc(hons) simply means you got 1st class, 2:1, 2:2 or 3rd class.

it simply means your B.sc (hons) is a honourable degreem, while your B.sc is not, it is more or less a certificate of attendance.

You get a B.SC degree with Honor if you graduated with first, second or third class. But your degree is without honor if you graduated with Pass degree.

A pass degree is the only class of degree without honor

According to Agbodo miscreants, if you graduate with Honors means you graduated with 1st class.

They say Tinubu graduated with Honors and they interpreted that to mean that he graduated with 1st class.

Even with all the free resources available, we still assume that failing a course will give you BSc and not failing a course will give you BSc (Hons).

To graduate with BSc (Hons), you need to spend an extra year or two depending on the field of study. The idea of the extra year(s) is to gain a deeper understanding in the course of study while also developing research skills

(Hons) could also help you get accepted directly to a PhD program if you meet the requirements of the school you’re applying to
without masters degree?.

The main difference between a normal BSc and a BSc Honours degree is the level of academic achievement and the depth of study.

A normal BSc degree is typically completed over a period of three years and focuses on providing a broad education in a particular subject area, with a mix of theoretical and practical courses.

On the other hand, a BSc Honours degree is usually completed over a period of four years and requires students to complete a more rigorous and specialized program of study, including a research project or dissertation. Honours degrees often have higher entry requirements, and students are expected to achieve a higher standard of academic performance than in a normal BSc program

Which school is that? Because an engineering course can't be a BSc but B.Engr.

I am hearing this for the first time.
