Undergraduate Admissions Consulting

After high school, an undergraduate degree is the first higher education level students pursue. It usually takes three years in the UK and four years in the US to finish and involves taking relevant courses to earn a final undergraduate degree qualification.

Choosing a country for your undergraduate education greatly depends on your academic goals, personal preferences and financial plans. While the USA, UK, Canada, Australia and parts of Europe are popular choices, the Indian undergraduate landscape is quickly evolving to meet international standards. Candidates look for destinations that match their specialisation and cultural interests. You can book a session with our college counsellors to find the best country for you.

An undergraduate degree is a broad term that includes bachelor’s degrees and other first-level degrees, such as foundation and certificate degrees. Students working towards an undergraduate degree usually aim for a bachelor’s degree in science, arts, or commerce. Some opt for associate degrees, which focus on practical, vocational or technical skills. Undergraduate programmes apart from the bachelor’s degree are completed within a shorter period.

The terms “graduate” and “undergraduate” are used interchangeably in India, but there is a difference. An undergraduate student has usually finished high school and is pursuing the first higher education level by taking courses towards a bachelor’s or associate’s degree. On the other hand, a graduate student has already completed his undergraduate education and is pursuing specialised courses to earn a Master’s or PhD.

Choosing the right university depends on your personal, academic, and professional goals and cultural preferences. While some top-tier universities like the Ivy League schools in the US or Oxbridge in the UK are well-respected, many universities around the world now offer specialised degrees that cater to a broader range of interests. In short, the best university for you is the one that aligns with your goals and preferences.

There are various undergraduate degrees depending on the country and qualification you wish to pursue. Associates degrees last about two years, while Bachelor’s degrees can take 3-5 years. Some common degrees include Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Commerce, Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Engg./Tech, Bachelor of Law, Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Media Studies and more.

The US is one of the most popular international destinations to pursue an undergraduate degree. Each college has its application requirements. Typically you need to apply a year before the academic year of the university you wish to attend. Bachelor’s degrees usually take four years to complete. The first two years are spent focusing on mandatory general courses in math, history, literature, and communications and the last two years; you focus on your major.

Every university has its own application process and requirements. Usually require academic transcripts, which include grades and other academic achievements between grades 10-12, proof of language proficiency, essays, reference letters, project descriptions or portfolios, a CV or resume and more.
