British undergraduate degree classification - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia When a candidate is awarded a degree with honours, '(Hons)' is sometimes suffixed to their type of degree, such as BA(Hons) or BSc(Hons) but this is an unofficial practice. A candidate who is unable to take his or her exams because of illness can sometimes be awarded an aegrotat degree; this is an honours degree without classification, awarded on the understanding that had the candidate not been unwell, he or she would have passed. A candidate for a postgraduate master's degree is usually required to have at least a 2:2 degree, although candidates with 2:1s are in a considerably stronger position to gain a place on a postgraduate course and to gain funding. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/British_undergraduate_degree_classification   (1051 words)
