Honours degree

An honours degree is a special type of degree you can get after you finish studying at university. It means that you worked really hard and did really well in your classes.

Think of it like a big sticker you get at the end of the school year if you did an extra good job in your classes. Just like the sticker, the honours degree shows that you did something extra special and impressive.

To get an honours degree, you usually need to have good grades in all of your classes and do extra work like writing a big report or doing a special project. It's kind of like running a race and getting a medal for coming in first place.

Having an honours degree can be very helpful when you're looking for a job or trying to further your education. It shows that you're smart and hard-working, which are great qualities to have!
