Bachelor-level degrees are normally given at the end of three or four years course work. Some universities offer four-year courses especially for students from overseas. The four years are made up of one preparatory year plus three years of degree courses. Courses leading to degrees in medicine, dentistry and architecture can take from three to seven years. Diplomas are included in this category because they too meet the criteria I have laid down here. That is to say, they are also awarded on the completion of satisfactory course work and examination. Diploma courses normally only last for one year. They are, too, usually more narrowly specialised and more professionally orientated. Thus they are most often given to people who are training to be teachers or social workers and who already have a Bachelor-level degree. Next, there are those degrees which a university gives for successful completion of a piece of research. The MA, Master of Arts, the MSc, Master of Science and the MBA, Master of Business Administration are the ones most frequently awarded here at postgraduate level.
