I heard from my lecturer that without honours will somehow have problem in doing Post-Grad studies in certain Universities.

From what I understand, Degree without Honours are equilavent to Advance/Higher Diploma, While with Honours completes the Degree itself.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Your lecturer is talking rubbish.

What about US degrees? For that matter what about non-UK or Australian degrees? They don't have a honours system.

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. smile.gif

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  blush.gif

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 ?
