China
There are 13 kinds of statutory bachelor’s degrees in China: Bachelor of Philosophy, Economics, Laws, Education, Arts, History, Science, Engineering, Agriculture, Medicine, Management, Military Science, and Fine Arts. # ISO certification in India
Since the undergraduate education system in China is modeled after its American counterpart, all of the degrees are adapted from those of the United States except for the issuing of the degree certificate. Once a student has fulfilled their course requirements, a “graduate certificate” will be given. In order to get the degree, a student must finish and pass the dissertation stage; only then will they be awarded a degree certified by the Ministry of Education of the People’s Republic of China.# ISO certification in India
Most bachelor’s degree in China needs four years to complete, with the exception that the Bachelor of Medicine degree requires five years.Although some colleges (Chinese: 专科学校), vocational colleges (Chinese: 职业学院) and colleges in some universities offer two or three year programs for students, they can not graduate with any degree, except for those who pass the upgrade exam during college and then study an extra two-year undergraduate course at another university and pass a dissertation.# ISO certification in India
Any Chinese citizen can also get a bachelor’s degree via the undergraduate majors of the Self-Taught Higher Education Examinations (Chinese: 高等教育自学考试).
Fiji
The colonial link and the establishment of the University of the South Pacific in 1968 allowed the education system to follow suit from the qualification system of the Commonwealth. University of the South Pacific is the only university in the Oceania region to be internationally recognized outside Australia and New Zealand with its bachelor’s and other awards program. It is also the highest ranked in the university ranking in the island region and also ranked above some Australian universities like the University of Canberra, University of Sunshine Coast and New Zealand universities like Lincoln University and Waikato Institute of Technology.# ISO certification in India

Indonesia
In Indonesia, most of the current bachelor’s degrees are domain-specific degrees. Therefore, there are more than 20 bachelor’s degrees.For instance, S.Psi. for Sarjana Psikologi (literally translated as “Bachelor of Psychology/BPsy, BA”), S.T. for Sarjana Teknik (literally translated as “Bachelor of Engineering”), S.Si. for Sarjana Sains (literally translated as “Bachelor of Science”), S.Farm. for Sarjana Farmasi (literally translated as “Bachelor of Pharmacy”), S.E. for Sarjana Ekonomi (literally translated as “Bachelor of Economy”), S.Kom. for Sarjana Ilmu computer (literally translated as “Bachelor of Computer Science”), S.S. for Sarjana Sastra (literally translated as “Bachelor of Literature”) or S.Sos. for Sarjana Ilmu Sosial (literally translated as “Bachelor of Social Sciences”). In the past, the Indonesian academic system adopted the old European/western degrees, such as the Ir (insinyur from Dutch ingenieur) for an engineering degree and the common academic degree (doktorandus from Dutch and ultimately Latin doctorandus) for a degree in either social or natural sciences.# ISO certification in India
