Note: The system of academic degrees absorbed many traditions. For example, the word “bachelor” (in English it is also “bachelor”) stems from those days when only young men studied at universities. Presumably, they were all unmarried, because keeping a family during school was difficult. Here are some of the first degree degrees awarded by the universities of England and Wales:
BA – Bachelor of Arts;
BEd – bachelor of pedagogical sciences;
EEng – Bachelor of Engineering Science;
BSc – Bachelor of Science;
LLB – Bachelor of Law;
The names of degrees in different universities are sometimes different, there are exceptions to the rules. In some Scottish universities, the holder of the first degree in the humanities is a Master (MA), not a Bachelor (BA). At some universities, including Oxford and Cambridge, VA is awarded in the humanities and natural sciences, but there is no BSc in Cambridge, and in Oxford it is the highest degree. To acquire a bachelor’s degree, you will have to study three (England and Wales) or four (Scotland) years. However, there are degrees for which you also need the experience of practical work – the training period accordingly increases. Future designers, for example, need to pass a preparatory course, and then – the main three-year. To obtain a degree in medicine, dentistry and architecture, you need to study up to 7 years.
