Tunisia

In Tunisia, a bachelor’s degree is referred to as al-ʾijāzah in Arabic, or la license in French; the degree takes three years to complete and is a part of the LMD (license, master, doctorat) reform, students can enroll in a bachelor’s degree program in different fields of study after having obtained their baccalauréat (the national secondary education test). The degree is typically identical to the program of France’s universities, as specified in the LMD reform. Most universities in Tunisia offer the 3-year bachelor’s degree, except some fields, which are Medicine, Pharmacy, Engineering, Architecture and Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, solely offered by Tunis Business School and lasts 4 years. # ISO certification in India

The Americas

Usually the region presents associates, bachelor’s, master’s, doctoral, and postdoctoral degrees.

In Brazil, a bachelor’s degree takes from three years to six years to complete depending on the course load and the program. A bachelor’s degree is the title sought by Brazilians in order to be a professional in a certain area of human knowledge. Master’s and doctoral degrees are additional degrees for those seeking an academic career or a specific understanding of a field.# ISO certification in India

Even without a formal adhesion to the Bologna system, a Brazilian “bachelor’s” would correspond to a European “first cycle.” A Brazilian “bachelor’s” takes three to six years for completion, as well as usually a written monograph or concluding project, in the same way that a European bachelor’s can be finished in three to four years, after which time Europeans may embark on a one- to two-year 2nd cycle program usually called a “master’s”, according to the Bologna Process. # ISO certification in India

Depending on programs and personal choices, Europeans can achieve a master’s degree in as little as four years (a three-year bachelor’s and a one-year master’s) and as long as six years (a four-year bachelor’s, a two-year master’s) of higher education. In Brazil it would be possible to have a specialization “lato-sensu” degree—which differs from a Brazilian “stricto-sensu” master’s degree—in as little as three years (two years for a “tecnólogo” degree and an additional year for a specialization) or as long as eight years (six years for professional degrees, plus two years for a master’s “stricto-sensu” degree—typical in medicine or engineering). # ISO certification in India

Canada

Education in Canada is governed independently by each province and territory; however, a common framework for degrees was agreed to by the Council of Ministers of Education, Canada, in 2007. This adopted descriptors for bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degrees that were deliberately similar to those defined by the Bologna Process. # ISO certification in India

Under the framework, four general forms of bachelor’s degree are defined: general programs that provide a broad education and prepare graduates for graduate-entry professional programs or employment generally; in-depth academic programs in a specific subject that prepare graduates for postgraduate study in the field or employment generally; applied programs that concentrate on a mastery of practice rather than knowledge; and professional programs, often (but not exclusively) graduate-entry, that prepare graduates to practice as professionals in a specific field. This last category includes graduate-entry degrees titled as if they were doctorates, such as MD, JD and DDS degrees—despite their names, these are considered bachelor’s degrees. # ISO certification in India

Bachelor’s degrees may take either three or four years to complete and are awarded by colleges and universities. In many universities and colleges, bachelor’s degrees are differentiated either as (ordinary) bachelor’s or as honours bachelor’s degrees. The term “honours” is an academic distinction, which indicates that students must achieve their bachelor’s degree with a sufficiently high overall grade point average; in addition, some programs may require more education than non-honours programs. The honours degrees are sometimes designated with the abbreviation in brackets of “(Hon(s))”.

Going back in history, the Bachelor with Honours (Latin baccalaureatus cum honore, French baccalauréat spécialisé) was traditionally taken as the highest undergraduate degree. The program requires at least 4 years of studies, with strong emphasis on the research-based Honours Seminar Thesis which is considered approximately equivalent to a formal master’s thesis. Universities show the academic degree as well as the possible honours distinction (Latin honours) on the diploma (e.g., “BACCALAUREATUS ARTIUM CUM HONORE … CUM LAUDE”). # ISO certification in India

In Quebec, students have to take a minimum of two years of college before entering, for example, a three-year Bachelor of Science (BSc) or a four-year Bachelor of Engineering (BEng) program. As a consequence, there is no de jure “honours degree” (although some universities market some of their programs as being de facto honours degrees in their English-language materials)^{[citation needed]} but there are some specializations called “concentrations” in French, which are mostly taken as optional courses. # ISO certification in India

In the province of Ontario, the most bachelor’s degrees offered by Ontario universities are academic in nature. In contrast, Ontario legislation requires bachelor’s degrees offered by Ontario colleges to be applied and vocationally focused.
