S: Diploma courses are usually more narrowly specialized and more professionally oriented. Thus they are most often given to people who are training to be teachers or social workers and who already have a Bachelor-level degree.
I: Then what do students study after acquiring their "first degree"?
S: After that, there are those degrees which a university gives for the successful completion of a piece of research. The MA (or Master of Arts), the MSc (or Master of Science)and the MBA (or Master of Business Administration)are the ones most frequently awarded here at postgraduate level. At one time these degrees were awarded only for the completion of research work; but over the past twenty years or so a large number of additional Master degrees have been introduced which combine a quite small piece of research with a substantial amount of course work on which the student is examined.
I: Then there is Doctor degree, right?
S: Yes. It is called Ph. D. (or Doctor of Philosophy), which is the most prestigious research degree. It is awarded for a piece of research which shows great depth and considerable originality. It is expected to make a significant contribution to our knowledge of and understanding of a problem. It usually involves at least four years’ full-time research.
I: I’ve also heard of honorary degrees? Are they Master degree or Doctor degree?
S: Well, that is a totally different matter. These are, for example, the Dlitt or Doctor of Letters (Doctor Litterarum — if you want it in the original Latin), the DSc or Doctor of Science, and the LLD or Doctor of Laws. These awards may be — in fact often are — awarded to people who have never been to university at all. They are very often in fact given to people who have distinguished themselves in some field of non-academic activity outside. Thus the university may wish to honour a famous writer by giving him or her a Dlitt or a famous politician by giving him or her a LLD.
I: Professor Stevenson, you have provided us with a detailed introduction to university education in Britain. Thank you for your time.
S: My pleasure.
