Help me with English please.....?

Question

Thanks.

Is this correct?

I have a four year bachelor’s degree in science.

I am wondering if i should use FOUR YEARS or FOUR YEAR'S and whether to include or not 'a' before four. Thanks for your help guys.

Thanks Bedhead, really much. But, normally a BSc degree would be of three years and I want to emphasis that mine is four years, coz I have done a honours degree.

Answer 1

It conveys the meaning. I wouldn't have mentioned the time it took, as you c.v. should spell out the dates during which you were at university. But in grammatical terms, you say four year, not four years because you are using the words "four year" as an adjectival noun.

Answer 2

You should just say "I have a Bachelor's degree in Science." If you want to add what school you studied at for four years that would be fine as well. Then it would be something like, " I studied at -------- for four years and graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Science."

Answer 3

Well, a bachelor's degree always means four years, so the way you wrote it is redundant. You can simply say, "I have a bachelor's degree in science."

edited to add: I see your comment above, and, in that case, you can say, "I have a four-year bachelor's degree in science."

Answer 4

4 years degree

Answer 5

No you did it right it's saying you have one bachelor's degree from a 4 course in science.

Answer 6

I would say : I have a b.s. in science .Perhaps include the name of the University especially if it happens to be a prestigious one .
Be proud of it, which I am sure you already are and get that diploma framed . LOL

Answer 7

You can just say "I have a bachelor's degree in science."
