@ Daisee, what you say is reasonable, but if it is just make or do, then it �s a faulty question, since we don �t say "do a degree".

Some people also say "get a degree".

@ Bruce
i hear English speakers say i am doing a degree and i am going to do a degree. i think it is very informal but it is used. if the question asks for make or do then maybe the examiners are including infomal versions.
i also found this
and this
and this which is on a British university FAQ page
and this too
and also these
I�d like to do a degree in Chemistry at some point
I�ll probably do a PhD
As we can easily see, it is used. There are also variants on obtain a degree such as get a degree, take a degree. With out the context of the Q we do not know if the examiners are asking for grammatically right answers or what is actually spoken. Or if they want American english or British English, there might be a difference with these countries. |
