Kevin Said:

what is BSc and MSc and the difference between post-graduate and under-graduate?

We Answered:

A Bachelor of Science (BSc) degree is the qualification you get at the end of three (or sometimes 4) year course at university. During this time you're known as an undergraduate student, and this is an undergraduate degree. When you've done that you can go on to do postgraduate study (post as in 'after' because it's after you've graduated) which usually leads to a Masters degree - this can be a Master of Science (MSc) or Master of Arts (MA) for example.

'Accelerated entry' isn't a term I've come across, but it could mean that the college qualification you're doing now is equivalent to part of the degree course, so you could gain entry directly into year 2 of the course. Best thing to do is phone the admissions office of the uni you're interested in to ask their advice.
