Undergraduate studies

Undergraduate education is an education level studied prior to gaining a first degree. Hence, in many educational systems, undergraduate education is a post-secondary education up to the level of a Technical Diploma (after a two-year study course in technical institutes) and Bachelor’s degree (after a four-year study course in technical colleges). Undergraduate degree courses in the Kurdistan region are called Bachelor degrees or First degrees. They normally take four years of full-time study. The exceptions are degrees in medicine, dentistry and architecture, which take longer. Upon successful completion of the study, students will be given a title depending on the area of their study.

The most common titles are:

BEng Bachelor of Engineering
BSc Bachelor of Science
BSc Bachelor of Health
BSc Bachelor of Administration
BSc Bachelor of Agriculture
Technical Diploma
