post,undergrad,masters?? which degree first ??

Answer 1

its undergraduate first, then its masters

Answer 2

Generally its like this with a few exceptions:-

B.Sc / B.Sc Hons / M.Sc / Ph.D or the same but with B.A.

There is no real fixed end point, you dont have to get a doctorate or a masters.

Your first degree will give you a BA or a BSc and after passing you will be called a graduate. While you are studying you will be an undergraduate.

If you want to prove your skill in that subject take Honours, this will be an extra year and you can write B.A. Hons or B.Sc. Hons after your name.

If you are very smart you may get a first class Honours(a 1), if not then you may get an upper second class (called a 2/1). Both of these are consider "good honours degrees" and will normally get you into professional bodies.

If you get a second class honours thats ok but a third class honours is probably not going to do you any favours to mention.

After all this, if you want to go on you can take a Masters, This will give you a M.Sc or a M.A. This is good for jobs because there are more degrees around nowadays. Don't think you will be allowed to take a masters with a third class honours - its may not be allowed.

If you get a first class honours you may be able to skip a masters and go straight onto a doctorate (Ph.D).

If you want to be the best chemist in the world find out which are the best universities for chemistry. If you don't intend to continue your subject you just want it to get you into a good job then find out about the wishes of your employers.

The thing to remember is its the universities standing that counts in many circles. If you want to do teacher training then just about any relavent degree will do, but many high end employers will look to where you studied.

Personally, if i had my time again, I would go and find a blacksmith to take me as an apprentice.

Answer 3

Do a degree first e.g. Bachelor of Arts or Sciences etc. which is detailed but could include several subject areas. While you are doing this you would be an 'undergraduate'. If you pass, you will 'graduate' and if you do well you might be able to do a Master's degree (e.g. MA, MSc, MPhil) in a more limited subject area but in much greater depth. You can do master's degrees which are taught or by doing research or a combination of these depending on the subject and university.

This could lead on to a doctorate in a specific topic (e.g. PhD) in much greater depth with a large research input from you. Following this you might get a post-doctoral appointment e.g. in a university to do research. If you want to teach you will need a teaching qualification.

Answer 4

If you wanna rate what you can get as certification after an education it will be like so, ranked in order of importance:

diploma> associate Diploma> Bachelors degree> Masters> Phd

After Phd you can elect to be a professor in something and do more work for that.
