Not sure where I fit in here Ben, got kicked out of school at just short of 15, so no school cert. of any sort, got a few marine certificates, so not sure where they fit in the list...

Why did you give individual classifications to physician/barbers and shyster/pettifoggers?
They hold only Bachelor degrees like most other tertiary educated. Likewise you give dots to Ph.D & D.Sc but ignore other often more difficult doctorates (Doctor of Engineering for example)
Perhaps you should have given click the dots to Bachelor, Master, Doctor without stating a profession.

For people doing PhDs (including in engineering), the uni pays your fees, for a D.Eng, you have to pay the uni (A large amount of) fees. Professional doctorates are like an extended coursework masters (though do have a research component like most M.Eng degrees).
So to clarify: PhD = "Doctor of Philosophy" which is awarded in Australia for research doctorates in any field. It stems from the days when "philosophy" encompassed all the sciences - from mathematics to poetry.
D.Sc is "Doctor of Science" - which is a rare degree (in australia - more common elsewhere) only offered by a few unis. It is only for academics who have spent many years doing research, and awarded based on you proving you have made a sufficient contribution to your chosen field of research.
A medical degree is a double bachelor degree.Quote:

We are getting fussy when it comes to doctorates, if you have a doctorate in any discipline, you have spent a lot of time at the books! (and not out Land Rovering)
Nothing new about a D. Eng. Prof. Mansergh Shaw had one from UQ in the 1950's, UQ's first Doctor of Engineering. In Europe a Doctor of Engineering is a prestigious qualification considered far more valuable than a Ph. D. in Icelandic poetry and other useless studies many Ph. D's are awarded for.Quote:

whats higher a BE or a BSc??
UQ are a special case as they use the european naming method for their engineering PhD. Have a look at all the other unis in Australia. E.g.Quote:

Do you mean B.Ed or B.Eng ??? They are both bachelor's degrees... However a B.Eng (4yr) is usually considered equivalent to a B.Sc + Hons (3+1 yr).Quote:

You don't have my qualification on there, probably because it's a UK one.
HNC in Refrigeration. It's a few units short of degree level.
I really should do the extra units one day. :rolleyes:
Yeah my qual level doesn't exist either.
