Talk:British degree abbreviations

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The University of Oxford used to award a Bachelor of Letters (BLitt) It is now a Master of Letters as it is a postgraduate degree. A relevant page can be found here

Also, have a look at the Doctorate entry. The DLitt is the Literarum Doctor or Doctor of Letters. Update: I should mention that the shortened version is based on the latin name while the full name is anglicised. Henry plantagenet 23:08, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC)

I've noticed a rather strange theme running throughout the entire wiki regarding Scottish Universities and four year honours degrees. Almost every article refers to the "ancient" universities using this system - but EVERY Scottish university uses the fourth year honours system including Caledonian, Paisley and many others which are far from ancient! Am I missing something in the wording here? 84.71.62.124 20:02, 22 May 2006 (UTC) mtb

It's surely well-known that when comparing different countries primary/ secondary and tertiary education time allocations, Scottish education is a 7:5:4 system while England has a 6.7:3 system.Zagubov 00:38, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
