There is the option of doing a 4th year to effectively get a BA(Hons.) degree, however not many people choose to pursue that option, given the aforementioned grade average classifications and the relative costs involved.
Is my 2nd upper average thus relevant, and does the civil service look to pay to grades achieved, or simply the cert itself?  |
An honors degree, is widely understood as the 4th year of your undergraduate study. your 3 year degree is only considered as a general degree without honors.
If you can afford it and really cannot find a decent job, I suggest you go back for your 4th honors year. It will up your chances and pay by a lot especially the civil service.
