对啊，工商的只需要3-4年罢了。。。
honours vs non-honours
这个比较detail吧。。。
HONOURS DEGREE
An Honours degree is still a Bachelorsdegree. To be more accurate, the wordings would actually read: Bachelorof <field> in <course> (Honours). For example Bachelor of Science in Computer Management (Honours).
Thereare two very different system in determining an honours degree in theworld today. The UK system and the Australian/NZ system. In Malaysia,we follow closely to the UK system, as most other Commonwealthcountries. I can't say for sure about US universities, but it does seemthat most of them use the same system as well. And as far as I know,only Australia and New Zealand uses the Australian/NZ system.
Beforewe go deeper, do understand that all degrees has classifications, andnot to be confused with honours. First class, Second class upper,Second class lower and Third class are classifications on yourachievements. Not normally associated with your honours title, withexception as will be described later.
Now lets talk about these two systems.
UK Honours System
Inthe UK system, honours degree differentiates between aprofessional/specialized degree and normal standard/general degree. Thehonours status is declared upfront before the student takes the course,meaning they would know full well if they will graduate with honours ornot. Then all they had to do is pass with at least 2.00CGPA (2nd classlower) at the end of their studies.
Honours degree will have aresearch component at the end of the studies, normally in the form of aresearch thesis. This is the extra academic component that is notavailable in a non-honours degree. And normally professional coursestake this as an essential component to determine its professionalrecognition.
So if you're concerned with professionalrecognition (for courses such as architecture, engineering, medicine,law or accountancy), be sure to pay attention to the honours title inthe degree. If there's an honours, go for it. Non-honours degree areusually shorter, but honours carry more recognition.
Australian/NZ Honours System
ByAustralian standards the awarding of honours is only upon completion ofa 4th optional year which consists of research based work where at theend, the student is expected to publish a thesis. This optional 4thyear usually cannot be applied into, and is only offered to students onan invitation basis, depending on how well they have performed duringthe 2nd and 3rd year level. This is how it's like for those 3 yearcourses.
Basically the Australian/NZ system only awards honoursdegree to top students. It can be said that this gives the honourstitle more meaning and prestige compared to the UK system. However, thetwo can't be compared directly simply because difference of meaning. Sobefore you confuse yourself, just understand what each honours meansand how you could obtain it.
The Honours system that describedonly applies to the 3 year courses in Australia. For 4 year and abovecourses such as engineering, it follows the UK system still.
NON-HONOURS DEGREE
Non-honoursdegree, also known as general degree, is a slightly lower standard ofdegree as compared to honours degree. Although you might say that thegeneral degree is the standard, while honours degree is higher.Po-tay-to, po-tah-to. Anyway, the main difference between a generaldegree and an honours degree is honours degree requires a thesis at theend of the degree. General degree student ends their study with agraduating project.
有一些国家是没有分honours不honours的。。.
