WHY this should be so, I cannot entirely fathom. ... although I'd hazard an intelligent guess it's something to do with making sure that British job vacancies are filled by British graduates - rather than those deemed as being "outsiders" - particularly in times of Blighty's ongoing economic recession(s).
i think part of the reason is the number of years of the course and the number of hours of study.

some degrees might only by 2 or 3yrs in length (so could be classed as equivalent to a HNC\HND level in the UK) and also because of the numbers of hours studied.
