H says that's exactly the response she would expect from a Bsc graduate because they're "not good with da words" ;D

A BSc Hons i understand is respected more than a BA Hons, but it really depends on what you want to get out of your degree i guess. Science is generally a bit more tricky than the arts. I think Gres studied Sport Science.  |

I think Gres studied Sport Science. It's all a bit relative because those that find Science easy probably find language difficult. One is not better than the other. |

If you're claiming to scientifically minded TC, then I think the case is conclusively proven in favour of the BA!! |

I think Gres studied Sport Science. What a load of crap POG. It's simply what you're good at, and if you think that a degree in Biology is respected more than say a degree in English, History or Economics (Which is BA on my course) that's just not the case. It all depends who you talk to and which jobs you apply for, and to say objectively that one sort of degree is better than another can't be done. Saying that you do get more stupid degrees thrown in on the BA side, like my friend doing Communication Studies....... As for Science is more tricky than the arts, this year I have done a great variety of modules, and I'll quickly show you my open modules. I did one in Maths, having had an 18 month break from the subject and being disadvantaged behind all the regular Maths students. I did one module on Globalisation and one module in the Theology department. We all know that out of there Maths is the science module, yet it's the one that I got by best with and got the best mark in out of the 3. |

We all know that out of there Maths is the science module, yet it's the one that I got by best with and got the best mark in out of the 3. To be fair; of all the sciences I'd say maths is by far the easiest to pick back up after an absence; most of it ultimately boils down to the same rules, you just have to remember what to do with them. Compared to, say, chemistry or physics, where there are a vastly greater number of rules and all sorts of additional information to remember besides... I do agree that there isn't an inherently "better" degree type though. A BA in English wouldn't be a lot of good to me in my job, but conversely a BSc in Polymer Properties wouldn't be particularly useful to someone applying for a role in journalism. There are some utterly crap ones (there's one university that offers a degree in Madonna Studies, for instance), but overall neither group could really be described as superior. |

'A Bachelor of Science degree may be a more specialized version of B.A., with more focus on the subject and less on a broad liberal arts background; for example, a B.S. in economics may require several more advanced economics courses than a B.A. in economics, and possibly more support courses (such as statistics)'. Source: University of Birmingham Website. More focus on the subject like it states above, i do agree with some of your comments, but thats the way the Universities define them, I'm not saying one is better than the other. I studied BSc Sports Science and my modules included Statistics along with the relevant physiology and psychology modules. My mate who is studying a BA in Sports Studies, however did not take any Maths/Stats modules or even any Science related modules. |

So by definition if you have a degree does that make you an intellect, as i would say the rhetoric of clearly demonstrates the old addage of being able to remember information and put it to paper.
Now I understand why individuals get degrees these days, because it is the benchmark for junior roles in decent organisations. Whereas before it was A/Levels or just being able to demonstrate good common sense.
So well done to all of you that have passed your exams etc., does it make you better - I think not!

I see what you mean Hurls, I'm guessing there a lot of non degree people out there who have more common sense than me and could be an equally good if not better accountant or something along those lines. However in today's world that's not enough, you need something potential employers can read on paper. This comes in the shape of either experience or qualifications, and for somebody trying to start a successful career it's important today to have evidence on paper that they are capable. I'm sure it wasn't so much the case 20 or so years ago. So no a degree doesn't make me better than someone else my age, but it is entirely necessary for me.

If you want a scientific conclusion, I have a BA from Sussex Uni and I know just how hard I worked. That's why I voted BSc |

It's BA (Oxon) (and I think BA (Cantab)) whether you do an arts or a science subject. I based my vote on that "reasoning" |
