South Korea

Universities, colleges, and institutions of higher learning provide the bachelor’s degree, called ‘haksa’ (Korean: 학사). For example, a university student who majored in literature and graduates obtains a BA, called ‘munhaksa’ (Korean: 문학사). Even if they do not go to an institution of higher learning, a person can get a bachelor’s degree through the Bachelor’s Degree Examination for Self-Education. # ISO certification in India

Sri Lanka

Recognized institutes of higher learning only are authorized to award degrees in Sri Lanka. Three years full-time bachelor’s degree without an area of specialization is known as a general degree. A degree with a specialization (in accounting, chemistry, plant biotechnology, zoology, physics, engineering, IT, law, etc.) is known as an honors degree and requires four years (120 credits or more) of study and more entrance qualifications. A degree in medicine, an MBBSc, requires a minimum of six years.# ISO certification in India

Europe

Bachelor’s degrees exist in almost every country in Europe. However, these degrees were only recently introduced in some Continental European countries, where bachelor’s degrees were unknown before the Bologna process. Some countries like France call it Licence. Undergraduate programs in Europe overall lead to the following most widely accepted degrees:# ISO certification in India

• 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.# ISO certification in India

On a per-country, per-discipline and sometimes even per-institute basis, the duration of an undergraduate degree program is typically three or four years, but can range anywhere from three to six years. This is an important factor in the student’s decision-making process.# ISO certification in India

Austria

The historical situation in Austria was very similar to that in Germany, with the traditional first degrees being the magister and the diplom, which are master’s-level qualifications. From 2004, bachelor’s degrees have been reintroduced as part of the Bologna Process reforms. These can be studied at universities, leading to a bachelor’s degree (BA or BSc) after three or four years, and at Fachhochschulen (universities of applied science), leading to a bachelor (FH) after three years. # ISO certification in India

Belgium

Education in Belgium is run by the language communities, with separate higher education systems being administered by the Flemish Community and the French Community. Both systems have been reformed to align with the Bologna Process, the Flemish Community from 2003 and the French Community from 2004. In the Flemish Community, bachelor’s degrees may be either academic or professional. These degrees last three years, and may be followed in both cases by an advanced bachelor diploma (French: Bachelier de spécialisation, lit. ‘Specialized Bachelor’; Dutch: Bachelor-na-bachelor, lit. ‘Bachelor-after-bachelor’), lasting one year (c.f. the Australian bachelor honours degree). All of these qualifications are at level 6 on the EQF, to which the Flemish Qualification Framework was referenced in June 2011. In the French Community, universities award grade de bachelier (3 years) as the equivalent of bachelor’s degrees. Outside of universities, professional programs may be type long (long type) or type court (short type), both of which are offered at hautes ecoles and ecoles supérieures des arts. The long type takes in a grade de bachelier (type long) (3 years), which is followed by a master degree (1 or 2 years), while the short type has a grade de bachelier professionnalisant (type court) (3 years), which may be followed by a bachelier de spécialisation (1 year). All bachelier degrees (including the bachelier de spécialisation) are equivalent to level 6 of the EQF, but have not been formally referenced. # ISO certification in India
