A bachelor’s degree is the most common post-secondary option and is generally considered the standard for employment in most professional fields. In most cases, four years of full-time study are required to complete a graduate program. However, some majors may take longer or schools may offer accelerated programs that allow students to graduate in less time.
The two most common types of bachelor’s degrees are the Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) and the Bachelor of Science (B.S.). There are, however, a few other options that come with more specific specializations, such as the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN). Typically, a bachelor’s degree consists of 120 semester credits, half of which are general education or liberal arts courses. The other half is usually filled with courses aimed at the student’s particular specialty.
MRes
MRes is always less than MPhil. Means “Research Master”. Although not a very common formal title for a master’s degree, it works well if it relates to the subject or field someone might study in college.
In general, an MRes is awarded to anyone studying in a field that promotes individual research. If a student spends a lot of time gathering information and researching new ideas, they are likely to earn the MRes degree.

Postgraduate/Postgraduate
The postgraduate award is for students who already have a bachelor’s degree . It is often called “graduate school” or “postgraduate course”.
Postgraduate courses give students the opportunity to acquire more knowledge than they obtain in their undergraduate degree through higher education. Your postgraduate studies will usually be related to but different from your undergraduate degree, whether it’s another area of a similar subject you want to explore or suited for a particular job such as teaching.
