What is an undergraduate degree?

Undergraduate, or Bachelor’s degrees, are the first level of degree in Higher Education. After you graduate from an undergraduate degree (a Level 6 qualification), you may continue on to postgraduate study (a Level 7 qualification), such as a Master’s degree. Undergraduate degrees usually take three years full-time, often with the option of an additional placement year.

 

Different types of undergraduate degree qualifications

The most common types of undergraduate or first degrees are Bachelor of Arts (BA) and Bachelor of Science (BSc), but there are others such as Bachelor of Education (BEd), Bachelor of Engineering (BEng), Bachelor of Laws (LLB) and Bachelor of Music (BMus).

There are also integrated Master’s degrees, which combine undergraduate study with postgraduate study, such as MSci or MEng.

See the types of university qualifications and degrees explained.

 

What does Honours (Hons) mean?  

Most undergraduate degrees can come with honours, which is an indication of the quality and depth of study, such as achieving a certain grade or submitting a good dissertation. Honours degrees will have (Hons) after the type of degree, for example BA(Hons) or BSc(Hons).

 

Ways to study for an undergraduate degree

There are more ways to study at degree level than you think. Combine subjects, take a placement year, learn online, or even while you’re working, on a degree apprenticeship. Study in a way that suits you.
