Jordan

Since the undergraduate education system in Jordan is modeled after its American counterpart, all the degrees are adapted from those of the United States excepting the release of the degree certificate. Once a student has fulfilled their course requirements, a graduate certificate will be given. In order to get the degree in some majors of study, a student must finish and pass the dissertation stage; only then will they be awarded a degree credentialed by the Ministry of Higher Education of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. Four years of education is the standard length. # ISO certification in India

Europe

• Bachelor of Science degree (BSc), 35%–40% of undergraduate programs;
• Bachelor of Arts degree (BA), 30%–35% of undergraduate programs;
• Bachelor of Laws degree (LLB), 1% of total programs, widely accepted in the law discipline.

The rest of the programs typically lead to a Bachelor of Engineering degree (BEng), Bachelor of Business Administration degree (BBA), or other variants. Also, associate degrees are rising in popularity on the undergraduate level in Europe.
