To answer this question, we must first define what an honours degree is and what is the meaning of a general course. In the UK an honours degree is commonly known as (Hons) which typically means you study for a period of 3/4 years in an academic institution. A general degree is often referred to as a Bachelor of Science (BSc) qualification both different degrees.
