Undergraduate Programs at Australian Universities
Like Canadian universities, Australian universities offer many choices at the undergraduate level. Bachelor degrees can becompleted in a minimum of three years of full-time study, or four years if you choose Honours studies.
A key difference between the North American and Australian post-secondary education systems concerns professional degrees (e.g., medicine, dentistry, law, pharmacy, physiotherapy). The Australian university system offers many professional qualification programs at the undergraduate level. This means that students straight from high school can enroll in programs to be become doctors, lawyers, pharmacists, physiotherapists, etc. This differs from the North American professional program structure,in which students generally complete an undergraduate degree before starting a professional degree.
