      Maybe.

      I’m only familiar with the term “BSc” from Red Dwarf, wherein it’s eventually revealed to mean “bronze swimming certificate”; however, from the context of the joke in the novel (and I think the show, don’t remember for sure), I assume it has some more impressive meaning in other uses.

      Given the origins of that series, I was guessing British, but that doesn’t limit it much. My cultural ignorance is preventing me from forming a meaningful theory.

      edit: I’m sorry, I thought this was a response to another comment I made, making my response 100% irrelevant. Please feel free to disregard.

      edit 2: Though I guess the last line of my unedited comment still applies.

        Bachelor of Science, however SSC doesn’t have a different meaning that I’m aware of.

          Thank you for the information!

          Also, I infer from your response that you also remember that part of Red Dwarf, which is awesome.
