There are a variety of higher education (post-secondary) institutions
in Canada, which include colleges, technical and applied arts/science
schools, and universities. Colleges often grant certificates, diplomas
and associate degrees, whereas universities, which are typically more
research intensive, grant both undergraduate and postgraduate
degrees, such as bachelors and masters degrees.
Achieving an undergraduate degree in Canada takes anywhere
between three to four years to complete depending on the program
and university. A postgraduate degree takes between one to three
years to complete, depending on the type of postgraduate degree
you plan to earn.
