Postgraduate vs Honors?

I’ll be starting my bachelor of Art (Psychology) next year. I’m still wondering what is the difference between postgraduate and honors? The fact is that the Uni website stated that those who are moving toward research area, honors will be the place (definitely gonna do well in order to get honors) but those who want to move into practising psychology, postgraduate will be the place. And actually my plan is to move from BA (Psy) to Master in Social Science (Counselling). My end point is to be a counsellor so BA (Psy) is basically my stepping stone to Master. So shld I work toward honors or shld I work toward postgraduate? Anyone can give some suggestion or advice ??? Thanks!! Ur opinions/suggestion/advice are well appreciated!!!

Perhaps I am missing some information to your question or I have misread it, but you can do both.

To graduate with a bachelor’s in psychology at undergraduate level, it usually requires a student to prepare a dissertation and successfully defend it in front of their piers and professors and to graduate with around a 3.5 GPA. You can also graduate with Latin Honors, by graduating with a high GPA.

Postgraduate studies is a different ball-game altogether but obtaining honors and/or a high GPA (3.3+) and scoring high on the GRE will help you get into a postgraduate program.

Next time you should shorten your post, try to leave out the parts that people skip.
