Difference between BSc (Hons) and Bsc (General)

Advertisements

The Bsc (Hons) is a three years degree program which aims at developing advanced theoretical and research skills and provide a platform for an advanced professional or academic career. This is a most desired route for students who want to continue to Master of Science (MSc) or Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) and a research or academic career. Through this program, students are provided with the opportunity to pursue an independent research project in an area of interest under the supervision of an academic staff member.

This program aims at providing students with advanced research skills in an area of contemporary science that will enhance their employability across a broad range of careers.

A Bachelor of Science (general) is also a three year undergraduate academic degree which is basically designed to provide the students with foundation knowledge possible for a science based career and to equip them to engage in global issues. This program opens up a large range of career possibilities. Bachelor of Science graduates find employment opportunities in many areas like business, teaching, marketing, research, etc. Some other career positions that a BSc degree holder gets are-chemists, nurses, biologists, psychologists, teachers, lawyers, etc.

Through this program, diverse education is provided in more than one branch of study. This program enhances student’s technical knowledge and problem solving skills. This degree provides students with scientific education that stimulates curiosity and promotes a questioning approach which encourages the development of teamwork and communication skills.

The major differences between these two degrees are-

BSc (Hons) is much more superior to the BSc (general) degree.

Academically, BSc (Hons) is a more standard degree as compared to BSc (general).

For the completion of BSc (Hons) degree, a student will have to write a dissertation but for a BSc (general) degree, this is not mandatory.
