Education System in Canada
The Canadian education system encompasses both publicly funded and private schools, from kindergarten through to pre-university. However, standards across the country are uniformly high.
Broadly, the Canadian education system spans across Universities, University Colleges, Career Colleges and Community Colleges.
Higher National Diploma (HND):
is awarded by Vocational and Technical Educational Councils. They offer a 2-year course in a vocational subject like scientific and technical business subjects. Great emphasis is placed on work experience. It is often seen as the first step towards a degree course as the credits can be transferred.
University:
These are autonomous institutions which are funded by the gvernment and are widely recognised worldwide. A University runs both, academic and professional courses. An Undergraduate course is of 4 years duration and a Masters course is of 2 years duration.Typically a University would have one intake in a year i.e. September and have fixed deadlines for applications.
University Colleges:
The University colleges offer degrees as well as diplomas & certificate courses. One could also obtain a combined degree diploma program and credit transfer facility. The distinguishing features of the University colleges are strong student support services, small classrooms and strong campus environment.
Community Colleges:
These are not colleges that are affiliated to any university or university college . Community colleges offer diplomas, certificates and applied degrees. Some community colleges allow a student to transfer credits into a university and gain lateral entry into the University run programs. Courses offered at these community colleges are better received by students as the student numbers per class is small and therefore the interaction levels of student and teachers is high.
