Admission Notes

  • The honours degree requires 3 years. Honours degrees are normally highly specialized degrees awarded with an honours classification. Special Honours degrees are normally one subject programs which may involve relevant subsidiary subjects. Joint, Double or Combined Honours usually cover two or more major subjects to the same level.
  • In some institutions BPhil or BLitt may be awarded for postgraduate work. Cambridge and Oxford graduates, after a specified number of years, can obtain an MA from their university without any further study, on payment of a fee. (see below). The undergraduate Bachelor degree is known as a Bachelor of Arts from Oxford or Cambridge even though the field of study may be in science, law etc. M. Litt. from Cambridge and Oxford may be accepted as equivalent to a master`s degree.
  • It is fairly common practice that British institutions do not issue North American style transcripts. Therefore, it may be necessary for the applicant to make arrangements for an official statement from the University Registrar indicating program of study, courses taken and grades achieved to be forwarded to you as an official document.
  • Scotland has three or four-year degrees; the honours degree requires four years. At Scottish universities first degrees in arts are generally called Master of Arts (MA).
