the equivalent scenario is that of the title 'doctor'.........it's use means different things in different situations.......while ordinarily it would mean a doctor of medicine, those with doctorates also carries the title doctor.......and to add to the confusion, in some countries (msia included) dentists and vets are also called doctors......(nb, dentists are NOT addressed as dr. in uk)....

the americans addressed this situation simple by adding the acronym 'MD' at the end of their name, immediately differentiating the medical doctors from the others......

read the thread first. it's not the university, it's the courses they offer. some courses do offer honours, some dont.
