name of qualification for cambridge degree

i'm filling in my loan application form at the moment and am stumped by a question that i perhaps really ought to know the answer to: what is the name of the qualification that i will gain at the end of my course? is it different for cambridge- BA Cantab or similar? as far as i know i am studying english at undergraduate level but they need to know if it is a BA or an MPhil or whatever. i have no idea and my family find this most amusing... help!

I thought we had to write BA(hons). I'm sure I read it somewhere on the www.careers.cam.ac.uk (?) website telling you how to apply for jobs.

Seems a bit unnecessary, though. Would have thought virtually all degrees are Hons.

Well I'm pretty sure that's what the guidance from the cambridge uni careers service detailed.

Stop being difficult blissy It's only a loan app.

you can only use (hons) if you get a 2:2 or above, else it's just a BA, BSc, etc.....

I don't think that's so. a 'third' is still third class honours. Its onlyif you miss that and get a 'pass' that you can't use (Hons)

No, I think you were misinformed, it's a national system. When we talk about first, second and third class, we are referring to honours degrees, and you can put (hons) after the title with any such class. If you manage to fall below third class but still pass, you have a pass degree rather than an honours degree and cannot put (hons). For my subject in Oxford, we are not allowed to "read for a pass degree" and fail completely if we miss a third.
