Here in Nigeria there is no difference, infact, it actually depends on the university that you graduated from, some university gives BSc and some adds Hons to their own and both of them are still that 4years |

In summary, the main difference is the level of specialization and research involved. BSc(Hon) programs are typically for students who want to delve deeper into their chosen field and are interested in pursuing research or advanced study, while a BSc is a more general undergraduate science degree. |

PinkNature: I think Ghanaian universities offer just BSC cause all the folks I know who studied engineering there spent a year less. Also most people I know from Nigeria graduated with BSC Hons regardless of grade. 1 Like |

Reads more like it’s from ChatGPT just like the following The primary 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. 1. **Bachelor of Science (BSc):** - A BSc is typically a three-year undergraduate degree program. - It provides a broad foundation in a specific field of study, such as physics, chemistry, biology, computer science, or mathematics. - BSc programs usually include a mix of core courses, electives, and practical work. - Upon completion, students receive a BSc degree. 2. **Bachelor of Science with Honours (BSc Hons):** - A BSc Hons is an extended version of the BSc program, typically lasting for four years. - It includes a more in-depth and research-focused curriculum. - Students pursuing a BSc Hons often complete a research project or thesis in their final year. - BSc Hons programs are generally considered more academically rigorous and may have higher entry requirements. - Graduates are awarded a BSc Hons degree, which is seen as a mark of higher academic achievement. In summary, while both BSc and BSc Hons are undergraduate degrees in science-related fields, the BSc Hons program typically involves a more intensive study, research, and a longer duration. It is often chosen by students who have a strong interest in research and academic excellence. blueghost: |

phemsie:Lol. Anyway in Naija, the hons is irrelevant because for all undergraduate courses, you must write a dissertation. In countries like UK, 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. |

A BSc Hons (Bachelor of Science with Honours) is a degree program that typically requires an additional year of specialized study beyond a standard BSc (Bachelor of Science) degree. The main differences lie in the depth of study and the level of specialization. In a BSc Hons program, students usually have the opportunity to engage in more advanced coursework, independent research, and sometimes even a final-year project or dissertation. This extra year allows for a deeper exploration of the chosen field of study, which can be advantageous for those seeking a more comprehensive understanding or planning to pursue further academic or research endeavors. On the other hand, a standard BSc program is usually completed in three years and covers a broader range of topics within the chosen discipline. While it provides a solid foundation in the subject, it may not delve as deeply into specialized areas as an Honours program. Ultimately, the choice between a BSc Hons and a BSc depends on your academic and career goals. If you're looking for a more in-depth and research-oriented experience, an Honours program might be the better choice. If you prefer a broader overview of the field, a standard BSc program could be suitable. |

Bliss24: I don't expect a graduate to still believe that students with carryovers end up with a Bsc (without honours). |

Both BSc and BSc(Hon) degrees can be conferred upon completing the prescribed course duration, which can vary between three and four years depending on the country, provided the individual successfully finishes the program. The distinction lies in that if an individual completes the program within the designated time frame, they will be granted a BSc(Hon). However, if their studies is extend due to extension (carry over) by an additional two years, for example, stretching a four-year program to six years, they will be awarded a BSc without Honors. |

kapelvej:There is science aspect of Engineering They are not actually the same outside Nigeria, I have seen an international school Master degree requirement for Engineering that requires you have minimum 2.1 bsc in Engineering and 2.2 Beng for the Master. Is like Nigeria institutions just use it anyhow.. there must be something that differentiates Bsc or Beng in Engineering. |

A Bachelor of Science (Hons) degree is thought to be more advanced than a Bachelor of Science degree. Academically, the Bsc (Hons) degree is considered to be higher than the regular Bsc degree. |
