Croatia

Most public universities and community colleges in Croatia today offer a three-year bachelor program, which can be followed up typically with a two-year master’s (graduate) program. All bachelor’s degrees in Croatia are professional. For distinction, in universities the title is “univ. bacc.” (university bachelor) and in community colleges is just “bacc.”. # ISO certification in India

Zagreb School of Economics and Management has a four-year bachelor’s program. Academies that specialize in the arts, e.g. the Academy of Fine Arts in Zagreb, have four-year bachelor’s programs followed by a one-year master’s. # ISO certification in India

Czech Republic

Historically, the baccalaureus was the undergraduate degree awarded to students who graduated from the course of trivium (grammar, dialectic and rhetoric) at a faculty of liberal arts (either at the Charles University or at the University of Olomouc). It was a necessary prerequisite to continue either with the faculty of liberal arts (quadrivium leading to a master’s degree and further to a doctoral degree) or to study at one of the other three historical faculties—law, medicine or theology.

A bachelor’s degree, abbreviated BcA, in the field of fine arts, and Bc (Bakalář in Czech) in other fields is awarded for accredited undergraduate programs at universities and colleges. # ISO certification in India

The vast majority of undergraduate programmes offered in the Czech Republic have a standard duration of three years.

In the Czech tertiary education system, most universities and colleges today offer a three-year bachelor program, which can be followed up typically with a two-year master’s (graduate) program. Some specializations, such as doctors of medicine and veterinary doctors, hold exceptions from the general system in that the only option is a six-year master’s program with no bachelor stage (graduate with title doctor). This is due mainly to the difficulty of meaningfully splitting up the education for these specializations. # ISO certification in India

Denmark

The bachelor’s degree was re-introduced at universities in Denmark in 1993, after the original degree (baccalaureus) was abandoned in 1775. The bachelor’s degree is awarded after three or four years of study at a university and follows a scheme quite similar to the British one. Two bachelor’s degrees are given at the university level today:

Bachelor of Science (BSc), awarded to students with main focus on scientific, medical, or technical areas;
Bachelor of Arts (BA), awarded to students whose main focus is on humanistic, theological, or jurisprudence areas. # ISO certification in India

However, both in the business and the academic world in Denmark, the bachelor’s degree is still considered to be “the first half” of a master’s (candidatus). It is often not considered a degree in its own right, despite the politicians’ best attempts to make it more accepted.

The bachelor’s degree has also been used since the late 1990s in a number of areas like nursing and teaching. Usually referred to as a “professional bachelor” (Danish: professionsbachelor), these degrees usually require 3 to 4+¹⁄₂ years of combined theoretical and practical study at a “professional university college” (Danish: professionshøjskole) or “business academy” (Danish: “erhvervsakademier”). These professional bachelor’s degrees do grant access to some university master’s program. These professional bachelor’s degrees are considered to be a full education. # ISO certification in India

Germany

Historically, the bachelor’s degree, called “Bakkalaureus“, existed in Germany since the late Middle Ages. But it was abolished by the educational reforms undertaken in 1820. The Abitur degree – the final degree received in school after a specialized ‘college phase’ of two years – replaced it, and universities only awarded graduate degrees.

The magister degree, a graduate degree, was awarded after five years of study. In 1899, a second graduate degree, the diplom, was introduced when the Technische Hochschulen (TH) received university status. With the introduction of the universities of applied sciences, a shortened version of the latter, referred to as Diplom (FH) and designed to take three to four years, was phased in between 1969 and 1972. # ISO certification in India

However, in 1998, in order to comply with the European Bologna process, a new educational law reintroduced the bachelor’s degree (first degree after three years of study) in Germany. Today, these degrees can be called either “Bakkalaureus” or “bachelor” (in accordance with federal law), but the English term is more common. According to the Bologna model, the bachelor is followed by the post-graduate master’s degree of another two years. The traditional degrees of diplom and magister were mostly abolished in 2010, although the diplom still persists in a few subjects and universities and has been reintroduced as alternative degree in some places. # ISO certification in India

The traditional degrees have been re-mapped to the new European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS) point system to make them comparable to the new bachelor’s degree. Traditional and Bologna process degrees are ranked as follows in Germany:

Bachelor: 180, 210, or 240 ECTS points required;
Diplom FH: 240 ECTS;
Diplom Uni or TH: 300 ECTS;
Master: 300 ECTS (including bachelor).
