Universities in the US

The sheer volume and variety of universities in the US means you can be pretty confident of finding a suitable institution in your preferred setting. And if you don’t get it right the first time, moving between universities in the US is not uncommon, without losing any previous academic credit or having to start over.

Depending on your subject and study level, you might need to take an admissions test, such as the SAT at undergraduate level or the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) at graduate level.

Undergraduate degrees at US universities typically take four years to complete. The first part of the degree is usually spent studying a wide range of subjects – some required and some electives – after which students choose the subject or subjects on which they want to focus – known as “major(s)”.

You may also earn a “minor” qualification alongside your major by completing classes in an additional field. This is often used to supplement the major degree. For example, business majors often minor in economics, while liberal arts majors may minor in philosophy. Some students also choose minors simply to explore a field they’re interested in, even if it does not closely relate to their major.

The academic year in the US is usually split into two semesters, with the fall (autumn) semester beginning in mid to late August and ending in December, while the spring term runs from January to May. Depending on where you’re from, you might find the academic terminology slightly different to what you’re used to. 

Universities in the Canada

Universities in Canada are established and operate under provincial and territorial government charters, directed by First Nations bands,[a] or by federal legislation.[b] Most public universities in the country are members of Universities Canada. The title "university" is protected under federal regulation.
As of 2023, there are over 100 universities in Canada, offering education in English and French. Most French-speaking universities are located in Quebec, though several institutions outside the province are either francophone or bilingual. 1.8 million students are enrolled in university. Programs are offered to graduating high school students through choice; however, students must maintain specific entering averages, which generally range from 65 to 85%, depending on criteria set by the chosen university. On campus residences are available at 95% of universities in Canada.
