Bachelor's Degree:
This
stage lasts for three or four years and leads to
the award of a Bachelor's Degree in Arts, Science
or other fields (Technology, Law, Engineering, etc.).
In some Scottish universities the first degree is
a Master's Degree. The Bachelor's Degree is conferred
as a Pass Degree or an Honours Degree where studies
are more specialized. The Bachelor's Honours Degree
is classified as a First Class Honours, a Second
Class Honours or a Third Class Honours.
Studying
for your first degree can take three years for an
honor degree. Some degree courses take four years
to complete and some even longer than that. A course
that includes study overseas (e.g. a language course)
is likely to take more than three years. A course
that includes a significant amount of work experience
is likely to take more than three years.
