Hons means Honours. Honours means it has more content, you'll usualy find an honours degree is done in a 3 year period, but you can find them as 4 years. It is better to go for a honours degree. A BA is a bachelor's of arts and a BSc is a bachelor's of science. There are other versions, such as but not limited to LLB (Bachelor's of Law). BAs are usually humanities and arts, like politics, history or theology. While BScs are more scientific, but not always science, like physics, maths, geology, and some universities will offer a science bachelor's in economics. Hope this helps :smile:

Yes, so idk what to put on my personal statement like at all. What do I say ??, I wanna do social work so do I just talk about that.
Also what type of questions do universities ask when you get an interview.
Thanks 😊.

Something to put in your statement would be how you've helped someone, or improved yourself by learning from a mistake. Talk about your patience and how you face difficult situations and can face them with empathy and understanding. Never come across as braggy or arrogant, stay humble and make sure that others get their peice of cake before you take yours. We desperately need people in social work so thank you for taking this path, it's people like you that make others lives so much easier :adore:
