Courses with honors.

Hey, I applied for the undergraduate course CV85, which is philosophy with psychology. When I check the course description, it says that it is an undergraduate degree, but also that it is an honors degree resulting in a masters. What exactly does that mean? Because I applied in the undergraduate section through UCAS for a 4 year course. It is still a bachelors right? Except that I can do a masters as an extension? I am scared that I applied unintentionally directly for a masters...

If it is Reading, then it is a 4 year course including a Placement Year.

Ah. Scottish undergraduate arts degrees traditionally award an MA rather than a BA. They can also be four years because of differences in the education system.

Aha, but I can still attend them with below honors qualification, such as a high school diploma or A-levels right?
