<P> The term "honours degree" (or "honors degree") has various meanings in the context of different degrees and education systems . Most commonly it refers to a variant of the undergraduate bachelor's degree containing a larger volume of material or a higher standard of study, or both, rather than an "ordinary", "general" or "pass" bachelor's degree . Honours degrees are sometimes indicated by "Hons" after the degree abbreviation, with various punctuation according to local custom, e.g. "BA (Hons)", "B.A., Hons", etc . </P> <P> Examples of honours degree include the honors bachelor's degree in the United States, the bachelor's degree with honours in the United Kingdom, Hong Kong, Sri Lanka and India, the honours bachelor's degree in Ireland, the honours bachelor's degree in Canada, and the bachelor honours degree in Australia . In South Africa the bachelor honours degree is a postgraduate degree that follows on from the completion of a bachelor's degree . The undergraduate master of arts degree awarded by the ancient universities of Scotland in place of the bachelor of arts may be awarded as an honours or non-honours degree; these are at the same level as equivalent bachelor's degrees . At master's level, the integrated master's degrees in British universities, which students enter at the same level as bachelor's degrees, are also honours degrees . Honours degrees should not be confused with the Latin honors attached to degrees in the US and some other countries . </P>
