You'll still need a GradDipEd to be a teacher

Why does he need a GradDipEd if he's already undertaking a BEd? Look at his signature.

honors requires high marks to get into. and only consider doing honours if you are going to get a DN or HD average in your honours year.

its pretty useless to put Honours Class 3C on your resume

many students who do thier honors year and who only acheived credit averages end up dropping thier honors because thier work was not up to scratch




masters, well thats just a money making scheme for the uni and for students who have nothing better to do with thier lives than go to uni

That's dumbest post ever...

1. Attempt honours if you want to,
2. it's not useless to put (Honours) on your resume. There's no rule that you have to put what class you got, especially given some universities don't give out classes,
3. I've heard of lots of people who have done better in honours than undergrad. Conversely, lots of people who do well in undergrad assume they'll do well in honours when they don't,
4. Masters aren't just a money making scheme.

Negrepped, yo.

You haven't the slightest fucking clue.

Generally honours is taken immediately after a bachelor and does require higher grades (for the most part) than a masters. A PhD requires either an honours or a masters degree and requires a massive amount of time, dedication, and effort. In the past a Masters course was for professionals looking to further their knowledge in a single field. Over the past decade or so more and more people are completing masters straight after their bachelors.

Depending on what field you work in will determine what level of educational attainment is necessary for advancement or even entry.

You should only do a PhD if you are extremely interested in a subject not because you want a job. If you want to move up your job ladder do a masters degree.

@cottoneye: honours is part of the bachelor degree. it is the uni offering the high achievers the honour of doing an extra year to learn more about that field.
