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.

The main difference between a Bachelor of Science (BSc) and a Bachelor of Science with Honours (BSc Hons) lies in the level of academic achievement and the depth of study. Here are the key distinctions:

1. Academic Level:

BSc (Bachelor of Science): This is an undergraduate degree typically awarded upon the completion of a three-year program of study. It is a standard bachelor's degree that signifies the successful completion of a broad range of courses in a specific field of science.

BSc Hons (Bachelor of Science with Honours): This is also an undergraduate degree, but it is typically awarded after completing a four-year program of study. The "Hons" designation indicates that the degree includes an additional year of specialized and often more in-depth study compared to a regular BSc.

2. Depth of Study:

BSc: A BSc program provides a solid foundation in the chosen field of science, covering core topics and introducing students to various aspects of the subject. It is designed to give students a comprehensive understanding of the field but may not delve as deeply into specific topics.

BSc Hons: BSc Hons programs are more in-depth and specialized. They often involve advanced coursework, independent research projects, and a higher level of critical analysis. Students pursuing a BSc Hons typically have the opportunity to explore a specific area of their chosen field in greater detail.

3. Research Component:

BSc: While BSc programs may include some research opportunities or projects, they typically have a more structured curriculum with a focus on coursework and foundational knowledge.

BSc Hons: BSc Hons programs often include a substantial research component, where students are required to undertake an independent research project or thesis. This research component is a significant part of the program and allows students to develop research skills and contribute to the field's knowledge.

4. Career Opportunities:

BSc: A BSc degree provides a solid academic foundation and can lead to entry-level positions in various industries related to the field of science. It can also be a stepping stone to further education, such as master's or doctoral programs.

BSc Hons: A BSc Hons degree is often seen as a more prestigious qualification and can open doors to more advanced or specialized career opportunities. It is particularly valuable for those considering research-oriented careers or pursuing advanced degrees.

In summary, the key difference between BSc and BSc Hons is the level of academic achievement and the depth of study. BSc Hons programs typically involve an extra year of specialized study and a research component, making them more rigorous and research-oriented compared to standard BSc programs. The choice between the two depends on your academic and career goals.

phemsie:
I really don't think there is any difference in the two.

I graduated after two extra years and what was written in my certificate is Bsc (Hons) Chemical Engineering

Bliss24:
No carry over

illicit:
At UNILORIN even if you have 3rd class, it's Hons

The only time you don't get Hons is when u have Pass

highbee02:



Who told that B.Sc. doesn't require dissertation/project?

phemsie:


what u don't know pass u.

I graduated from Unilag (no 1 university in Nigeria) if u care to know

NairaMaster1:


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

I am hearing this for the first time.

perdollar:
I think it means u were honourably discharged

kapelvej:
Bsc chemical engineering ?
Na waaa. is it not supposed to be B.eng or something like that. Engineering is not science nawwww

phemsie:


I still graduated with a second class upper, for ur information

perdollar:
did I say anything wrong bro

perdollar:
I think it means u were honourably discharged

kapelvej:
Bsc chemical engineering ?
Na waaa. is it not supposed to be B.eng or something like that. Engineering is not science nawwww

Taaaaaaaa mechie onugi dia.

UNN ahead of everything and everyone else.

Razgas:
bsc project is not dissertation

phemsie:


University of Lagos

And BEng is for university of technology only
