What are
Undergraduate
Studies?
A 3-year degree can be your path to employment in your
area of interest, while a 4-year degree will allow you to
complete honours courses that can lead to graduate studies.
A bachelor’s degree consists of a major (area of focus), degree requirements,
and electives (engaging courses that are not necessarily related to the major).
Electives and degree requirements enable you to take courses in multiple areas
of interest. Business students can take a course in theatre and film,
for example, while science students could also study literature or philosophy.
Find the courses and subjects that are right for you!
