	A '''bachelor's degree''' (from [[Middle Latin]] ''baccalaureus'') or '''baccalaureate''' (from [[New Latin\|Modern Latin]] ''baccalaureatus'') is an [[Undergraduate degree\|undergraduate]] [[academic degree]] awarded by colleges and universities upon completion of a course of study lasting three to six years (depending on institution and [[academic discipline]]). The two most common bachelor's degrees are the [[Bachelor of Arts]] (BA) and the [[Bachelor of Science]] (BS or BSc). In some institutions and educational systems, certain bachelor's degrees can only be taken as [[Graduate school\|graduate]] or [[postgraduate education]]s after a first degree has been completed, although more commonly the successful completion of a bachelor's degree is a prerequisite for further courses such as a [[Master's degree\|master's]] or a [[doctorate]].

A '''bachelor's degree''' is the [[certificate]] given to a [[university]] student after he or she has succeeded in an end of course examination. In [[England]] and [[Wales]] the degree requires three years of study; in [[North America]] and some other countries four years are required.

In many countries there are other qualifications after school attendance is ended. Most of these are below degree level, and based on practical skills, but details vary according to the country.

In the British tradition there is a distinction between general degrees, and honour degrees or special degrees. In [[Scotland]], for example, a general degree takes three years, while an honours degree takes four years.

The content of a bachelor's degree varies according to the Faculty, the part of the University which does the teaching. In a Faculty of Arts or Humanities a student studies for the [[Bachelor of Arts]]. Other traditional Faculties are those of Science, Mathematics, Engineering, and so on. Honours degrees are always labelled by their content, so BSc is a [[Bachelor of Science]], BA a Bachelor of Arts, and so on. [[Medical degree]]s are labelled variously. [[London University]] awards MB, ChB (bachelor of medicine and surgery) as the basic degree; [[Edinburgh University]] awards the [[MD]] as the basic qualification.

Higher degrees than the bachelor are possible. Again, regulations vary, but often the next two steps are usually the [[Master's degree]] and the [[PhD]] degree.
