BSc(Hons) - our Honours degree in this Faculty - is usually awarded after an extra year's full- time study in one of the major subjects taken for the "ordinary" BSc or BSc(InfSys) degree, or in a closely related subject. The degree is always called BSc(Hons) - there is no BSc(InfSys)(Hons), for example.

Here is just one example of a BSc degree structure, followed by a choice of one of three Honours possibilities. There are, of course, many other ways of structuring a degree, but to get to your Honours year the choice of the undergraduate "pyramid" is critically important.
