UK BSc (Honours) - which option in EoI?
 
I have set up an account on SkillSelect and started completing an EoI (very excited about this! :)) and have a question.

I have a Bachelor of Science (BSc) degree with honours in Occupational Therapy from a UK university.

In the Education section, in the Qualification drop down, which do I select?
  1. Honours Degree (Other)
  2. Honours Degree in Science, Business or Technology
  3. Bachelor Degree (Other)
  4. Bachelor Degree in Science, Business or Technology

Apologies if the answer is an obvious one, but this one has me confused. For example, in the second option, does "Science" refer to the subject studied or the fact if you have a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degree??

Re: UK BSc (Honours) - which option in EoI?
 
I have done some searching online, and it seems in Australia only an additional fourth year as part of your Bachelor of Science degree results in an honours degree. In other words, my three year BSc (Honours) degree from a UK university would be equivalent to the Bachelor Degree option in the SkillSelect EoI application, not the Honours option?

However one question remains; Is a UK Bachelor of Science degree the equivalent to the Bachelor Degree (Other) option or the Bachelor Degree in Science, Business or Technology option?

Having looked at various websites of Australian universities, it's clear that "Bachelor of Science", "Bachelor of Business" and "Bachelor of Technology" are degrees in themselves, and not broader categories of training such as the UK's Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science.

In Australia, my equivalent degree is referred to as Bachelor of Occupational Therapy; hence I need to go for the "(Other)" option when completing the EoI.

So I think I have pretty much answered my own question... :D
