Pathway - University




University is a school that you can attend after graduation from high school.  You generally study for four years and concentrate on learning about a subject area of interest to you.  After graduating from university you will have a Bachelor’s degree, which will prepare you for a career in your area of study.  You can also continue studying in university and earn a Master’s degree or Ph.D. (doctorate).

To attend university, you need to apply and then be accepted.  Universities use admission requirements to select students.  General admission requirements for all university programs are listed below and some sample specific program admission requirements are listed.
