Hello,

Bsc is a normal ordinary degree in which you will have few subjects and at the end of the third year you will choose one subject of specialisation.  Bsc is a plain degree and you will not learn concepts into much depth. In bsc you will need some extra efforts apart from studies if you want to gain knowledge and skills. Bsc hons is a specialisation in one particular subjects. Many colleges have Bsc hons and it is good compared to Bsc and it has edge over plain bsc. In Bsc homs subjects are in depth and it will give you somw more knowledge and skills. There are many colleges for Bsc hons.

Thanks and all the best

BSC

A Bachelor’s degree or BSc is generally considered as an ordinary pass degree. A regular BSc degree takes three to four years for the candidate to complete. This is referring to a general degree. For a special degree, it can take four to five years to complete. Moreover, the submission of dissertation is not necessary in the case of BSc degree. This happens when the BSc is a general degree and not a special degree. If it is a special degree, then one has to hand over a dissertation.

BSC HONS

BSc Hons means Bachelor of Science (Honors). It takes four to five years for a person to complete BSc Hons. BSc Hons is looked upon as an extraordinary degree. In some countries, you cannot find BSc Hons degree at all whereas, in countries like Australia, Britain, Canada, India, and Sri Lanka, you can find BSc Hons degrees awarded in colleges and universities. However, with regard to duration, you can receive a BSc Hons degree from countries such as England and Wales in three years. Then, when it comes to dissertations, it is a must for a student to write a dissertation, to qualify for BSc Hons degree.

My dear aspirant,
There are two types of bachelors degree. That means you can be graduated by two types of bachelor degree.

If you are a science student and you you will want to specialised in in only one subject of science that will be called BSc honours.
For example- you can be e BSc honours in chemistry, you can be BSc honours in mathematics.

One the other hand,
BSc is a general graduation degree. In this degree you are not eligible to specifically specialised in one subject. You have three or four subjects. This is a general or ordinary graduation this is also called pass.

In both degree, you may take time 3 or 4 years.

Hope it helps!!
Thank you.
