While some universities might use similar phrasing informally (e.g., in internal communications about a student who just missed a higher distinction), it wouldn't be an official part of the degree itself. Instead, degrees often have classes of honors, such as:
* First-class honors: The highest level of academic achievement.
* Second-class honors (Upper Second/Lower Second): Different levels within second-class honors are sometimes used.
* Third-class honors: A lower level of honors.
* Pass: Indicates the student met the minimum requirements for the degree but didn't achieve honors.
A student either receives one of these classifications or a simple "Pass" designation. There's no official "honorable mention" category.
