常见的学位除了按照学科分类为BA（Bachelor of Arts）、BSc（Bachelor of Science）、MA（Master of Arts）、MSc（Master of Science）外，还分为Honours degrees和Ordinary degrees。

Honours degrees是指“荣誉学位”。

Honours degree has various meanings in the context of different degrees and education systems. Most commonly it refers to a variant of the undergraduate bachelor's degree containing a larger volume of material or a higher standard of study, or both, rather than an "ordinary", "general" or "pass" bachelor's degree. Honours degrees are sometimes indicated by "Hons" after the degree abbreviation, with various punctuation according to local custom, e.g. "BA (Hons)", "B.A., Hons", etc. In Canada, honours degrees may be indicated with an "H" preceding the degree abbreviation, e.g. "HBA" for Honours Bachelor of Arts or Honours Business Administration.

参考译文：荣誉学位在不同的学位和教育体系中具有不同的含义。最常见的是指本科学士学位的一个变体，包含更多的材料或更高的学习标准，或两者兼而有之，而不是 "普通"、"一般"或 "合格"的学士学位。荣誉学位有时在学位缩写后面用 "Hons "表示，并根据当地习俗使用各种标点符号，如 "BA（Hons）"、"B.A.，Hons "等。在加拿大，荣誉学位可以在学位缩写前加上 "H"，例如，"HBA "表示荣誉文学学士或荣誉工商管理。

Ordinary degrees是指“一般学位”。

An ordinary degree is awarded when one passes the degree exam completing all the expected work though does not have an excellent performance. Ordinary degree is awarded to undergraduates who have obtained below 40% of the total marks but above fail marks. They do not have a class. This is better than being failed. However, if you have studied for three years and has got only an ordinary degree that is not going to be good on your resume.

一般学位是指通过学位考试，完成了所有预期的学习，但没有出色的表现的人。一般学位是授予那些获得低于总分40%但高于不及格分数的本科生的。他们虽然没有等级，但比不及格要好。然而，如果你学习了三年，却只获得了一个一般学位，这在简历上并不是很优秀。

其中，Honours degrees又有一、二、三等之分，分别为First class honours，Second class honours和Third class honours，二等又分为两个层级：upper division和lower division，Second class honours, upper division (2:1) 是指二等一荣誉学位，Second class honours, lower division (2:2) 是指二等二荣誉学位。
