    It very much depends on the university. You can’t make any consistent claims about either without talking about a specific school.

    You cannot call yourself an engineer or a scientist with a Bachelor of Arts (physics).

    🤣

      I’m from Australia and there are no BA(Physics) here, only BS(Physics) and you can only call yourself an engineer if you have the right degree, approved by engineers Australia and/or IEEE. Having the title of engineer here is similar to the medical doctor title.

      Edit: Though the tone of your response makes sense to me now that I think of it. My husband’s company recently hired a senior software engineer from the states and he’s turned out to be no better than the local engineering graduates despite having over 20 years experience.

        Like I said - it depends on the university.

        Cambridge and Oxford only do BA. Harvard has a BA for physics as well. They offer both for computer science - and the difference is subtle. The ba degree allows for non-concentration electives.

        BA is not simply “an overview” full stop.
