The Bachelor's Honours Degree is classified as a First Class Honours, a Second Class Honours or a Third Class Honours. In some universities, a two-year course leads to a Diploma in Higher Education (DipHE). Some universities have adopted the credit-unit or modular system of assessment. In some universities students must follow a foundation course before embarking on the course leading to the Bachelor's Degree. Students of foreign languages are sometimes required to study or work for an additional year in the country of the target language. Some institutions have introduced accelerated two-year degrees which require students to study during the normal vacation period.
