chibi_tenko,
It doesn't matter. At the end of the day, it's just a piece of paper. It's your attitude at work that will take you up the corporate ladder

Not all qualified UK degree holders have honours qualification. Those who fail a paper in the final year will be allowed to graduate with only a general degree, without honours.

It's not a matter of whether an honours degree is more prestigious or not, which is a matter of perception. What's more important is whether your honours degree or lack of disqualifies you from membership of certain professional bodies or exams.

Law graduates with third class honours or lower are generally not alllowed to sit for the Bar exams. They may, however, take a separate exam and gain admission as solicitors (but not barristers).

Thanks for pointing out.

Forgot to mention our lecterur was refering to our twinning programme with UniSA. They offer 2 years Diploma in Malaysia, then final year at UniSA for Bachelor Degree without Honours. If we want Honours, we have to study 2 years at UniSA.

morph,
Yes, to complete up to Honours at UniSA you will need to spend an additional year hence 1+1 = 2 years. But do know that NOT everyone who wants to do Honours can do it. You must be offered a place before you can take it up - look at it as a 'by invitation only' kinda thing

Huh?
Really? Why is that so? It depends on result?
Will the graduate who completed his Degree without Honours from UniSA will face problem in doing his Post Grad in future then ?

morph,

You need to score X% before u be offered a position to do your Honours. Honours is different from postgrad and is not a pre-requisite into a postgraduate programme so you don't need to worry.

how about local ones? I mean like for MMU courses, there are honours while the same course in UTAR may not have honours(correct me if i'm wrong). Is there a big difference?

Doing an honours degree in Australia is upon invitation only.

IpohBoY,
We have discussed this issue of Honours & No Honours at length within this thread. Please scroll up and read through before asking us the same questions over and over. Thanks!
