A bachelor's degree is usually an undergraduate academic degree awarded for a course that generally lasts three or four years. Note that some postgraduate degrees are entitled Bachelor of ..., e.g. the University of Oxford Bachelor of Civil Law.

1 Honours degrees

In some countries undergraduate degrees are awarded either as pass degrees or as honours degrees, the latter denoted by the appearance of "(Hons)" after the degree abbreviation. An honours degree generally requires a higher academic standard than a pass degree, and in Singapore, Australia and New Zealand, an extra year of study which may involve independent research and the writing of a thesis. An honours degree is sometimes accepted in place of a Master's degree as prerequisite for Ph.D study. In the University of Dublin, the equivalent of honours is known as moderatorship , abbreviated "(Mod)".

Honours and moderatorships are often divided into first, second upper, second lower, third and (sometimes) fourth classes.

3 New bachelors' degrees

The University of Cambridge is perhaps unique today in awarding the BA for all undergraduate degrees.
