Does everyone who passes at university receive a BA degree?What are the requirements if not so?

Answer 1

It depends on what university you are attending and what program you are in.

Answer 2

No they don't. Even if you don't fail there is no reason to suppose that you would get a degree from a university. You could gain a Diploma, a HNC, a HND or a BTEC amongst others.
Even if you got a degree would it be an ordinary degree or a degree with honours? And then there are several different grades to that. For example: Desmonds (2.2's). Even so, the BA only refers to arts subjects. You could obtain a BSc or a BSc Hons (like I did...amongst my other qualifications, and where did that get me? Answering this, that's where!)
Then again you could pick up a doctorate or a masters....

Answer 3

No... although some UK universities award a BA for all first degree courses (_not_ just for arts courses, by the way!), you can be awarded a BSc, a BCom, a BLit, etc., depending on the subject and where studied. To confuse the picture further, some universities award a bachelor's degree for postgraduate study (e.g., a BPhil). If you are thinking of going to university the establishment's handbook will explain it all.

Answer 4

well, speaking in general the pass rate is 40% so i guess yes. but the degree you get varies from a 1st to a 4th and below that.
70-100, 1st
60-69- 2.1
59-50- 2.2
49-40- 3rd

in order to get a honours degree, a student has to acquire 360 credits at levels 4, 5 and 6. there are 20 credits per module and to obtain this, you have to get either a minimum of 40% or above, but obviously the higher the percentage mark he/she gets in their coursework, the better their honours degree will be in the end and employers will treat them more seriously as potential applicants, when applying for jobs and going to interviews. as for the overall mark, i presume they aggregate the marks from all the modules and in the end, the university give you your final mark.

also, the initials BA stands for a Bachelor of arts degree, of which i am currently doing at university in media arts. Bachelor of arts covers Art and design, media, photography, journalism etc

Answer 5

it depends what can of course you do, for eg it will be BSc if you get a degree in science. Then there are different levels, depending on how well you have done, like a first, a 2:1 a 2:2 etc

Answer 6

no, it depends on your subject... if you do an art such as a subject in humanities eg.history, geography, politics etc. you will receive a BA unless you do a masters in which case you get a masters. If you do a science subject you get a BSc. In engineering you get an MEng or BEng depending on whether you do it to Masters level or not. There are probably others but I don't know them.

Answer 7

No, It depends on the type of couse. BA stands for Bachlor of Arts so you'll get it if you study an 'Art' such as English. This site will give you some other types http://www.manchester.ac.uk/international/apply/thebritisheducationsystem/degreetypes/
