Bachelor's Programs

There are about thirty-seven public universities and two private universities in Australia, which offer Undergraduate or Bachelor's programs, Postgraduate and PhD programs. University study in Australia can lead to the following awards:
  • Undergraduate or Bachelor's Degrees,
  • Undergraduate Diplomas,
  • Associate Diplomas,
  • Postgraduate Degrees or Masters Degrees,
  • Doctoral Degrees,
  • Graduate Diplomas, and
  • Graduate Certificates.
Undergraduate or a Bachelor's degree in Australia is normally a three-year program, although in certain specialized disciplines and double-degree areas, the time period extends from three years to four-to-six years. Students who excel academically may be invited into an Honor's Year, which makes up the fourth year of study in Australian bachelor's degrees. This is a graduate-level year of study followed by an intensive research module. In some universities of Australia, it is possible sometimes to pursue a PhD degree with 'superior academic performance' of exceptional students in the honor's year of the bachelor's programs. The undergraduate programs offered in Australia are:
  • Bachelor Degree,
  • Bachelor Degree with Honors,
  • Undergraduate Diplomas, and
  • Associate Diplomas.
The most popular courses of study for global students in Australia are Business, Administration and Economics, followed by Science, Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences.
