question for the Europeans; what's the equivalent of a US Bachelor's degree? | Forums

[Olegious]

any info would be appreciated (im applying for work in the EU, just need to know what to put down in the education field).

example: it asks what is your "leaving qualification?" and gives you the following choices:
-A-Levels
-Advanced technical college certificate
-CSE
-Secondary School

so where would a bachelor's degree fit (im graduating next month)?

thanks in advance!

That would be a Bachelor's degree. At least in the Netherlands it would be. We used to have different names for it but it is gradualy changing.

I am not sure whether this is true for all European nations but I believe it is the same throughout the EU members.

And gratulations on graduating! Good job!

Hm, I didn't know the netherlands used the same system, but I know in other countries in Europe they do have a different system. I spoke with someone (forgot where he was from exactly) from Europe and was COMPLETELY confused when he explained how far he was in his education, lol.

My reasponse was: "Oh, ok, I have no clue what that means, but I'm really happy for you dude, good luck with the rest of your education!"

Oh yah, didn't read this part, but congratulations Oleg! Education is the most important thing to have in life. Congrats, post some graduation photos, lol.

I'm guessing it's the same as a batchelors degree in the UK - what you get when you pass your final year university exams. O levels you sit when you're 16, A levels when you're 18. The usual route is O levels (or CSE if you weren't bright enough for O levels), then A levels then on to university where you get your batchelors degree.

They are GCSEs now, not O levels.

I think its still a bachelors degree. I know im looking at doing a BSc in computing, which is a bachelor in science, dont know if its the same thing though.

[Olegious]

i thank you for your kind words, but im still at a loss for what to put down, i guess "secondary school"?

Well, find out what the other ones mean, and if they're wrong, then you'll know which is right through the process of elimination, hehe.
