    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.
