Year 12s: what will be the first way you research your future options? >>

honours degrees

if you apply for a degree that says "bsc hons", is the honours bit optional?
This says "if you progress".. but if you dont do it then you only study for two years???

By "progress to honours" they mean "don't fail either of the first two years and drop out"

If you did not progress to years 3 & 4 you would not be awarded a bachelors degree, (honours or otherwise).

Undergrad degrees in the UK are typically all "with Honours" and there is no option to complete just an ordinary bachelors.
