The degrees awarded carry a designation related to the broad subject area such as BA, BSc, BEng etc. The majority of Bachelor's degrees are now honours degrees. Prior to the mid 20th century some candidates (but not, for example, at Oxford or Cambridge) would take an Ordinary degree, and then be selected to go on for a final year for the Honours degree. A first degree course is usually three years, but it might be reduced to two either by direct second year entry (for people who have done foundation degrees or changed subject or similar) or by doing compressed courses (which are being piloted by several newer universities). For funding reasons (funding for undergraduate programs is automatic, funding for postgraduate programs is not) it is becoming increasingly common to skip The Bachelor's stage entirely and go straight to Masters level on a four year (five year if with industrial experience) course (which often shares the first two years with the equivalent Bachelor's course).

Is diploma equivalent to a degree in Jamaica?

If the question is in relation to Jamaica in the West Indies, then you have diplomas of different types. You have professional diplomas, some of which are considered equivalent to a Bachelors Degree; you have post-graduate diplomas that are post-Bachelors, post-masters, or post-doctoral degrees; then you have 1,2,3 year diplomas that are not equivalent to degrees but can be used to assess credit and exemptions for a Bachelors Degree or Bachelors Completion Degree. It can get a bit complicated. So for each diploma make sure you ask, so you know beforehand which category it falls into. There is also the University Council of Jamaica to check with to sort it all out.
