Undergraduate studies

Undergraduate education is an education level taken prior to gaining a first degree, hence in many subjects in many educational systems, undergraduate education is post-secondary education up to the level of a bachelor's degree.

Undergraduate degree courses in the Kurdistan region are called Bachelor degrees or First degrees. They normally take three to four years of full-time study. The exceptions are degrees in medicine, dentistry and architecture, which take longer.

When you have completed your study, you will be given a title depending on your area of study. The most common titles are:

BA (Bachelor of Arts)
BSc (Bachelor of Science)
BEd (Bachelor of Education)
BLW (Bachelor of Law)
BEng (Bachelor of Engineering)
BMD (Bachelor of Medicine)
