The structure and meaning of an "honours degree" can vary by country and university. In many Commonwealth countries, it is a standard, specialized undergraduate degree. In some other systems (like parts of North America), "honors" or "honours" may refer to a special track, program, or designation within a standard bachelor's degree, often requiring additional coursework, a thesis, or a higher GPA. The core concept across contexts is recognized academic merit beyond the minimum passing standard.
